RALEIGH, N.C. -- Touched down in Raleigh about 9:30ish this morning and the weather is nice and spring like down here in the heart of Carolina. With all the wind, the takeoff from JFK and landing at RDU wasn't good for those who have weak stomachs. But we made it.
So far, the RBC Center seems like a nice arena. It's kind of in the sticks, not far from the state fairgrounds where I'm sure you can see all the livestock you coulld ever want when it's actually open. It's located next to the football stadium where N.C. State plays its home games. Not a bad little complex they have here.
Anyway, we're set for the day before the games begin at this venue. Davidson is out on the floor practicing now and there are seven other teams to follow. Arkansas will wrap up the practice festivities at about 7:20 or so.
We'll try to post a few updates whenever possible.The NCAA has a strict policy regarding blogging at the NCAA Tournament, so we'll do the best we can.

In the meantime, good luck to everyone who filled out their brackets for recreational purposes of course. Let the games begin!
