Pikeville fans were upset. It was abundantly clear on social media. “But we are the higher seed” “we are the home team” blah blah blah

More of preemptively getting ahead of “but we are the higher rated team” questions by stating we know this, but we still will be on the other side. Several Pikeville fans had already purchased tickets in the reserved area since common sense would have said that is the side that Pikeville would occupy, so it was important to get that information out quickly and correct any word to the contrary.

As mentioned before, it is nice to have that access if fans want it, but cheaper tickets and not being split up by the reserved sections and neutral fans is certainly a good deal. If anything it is just perplexing as to why it is how it is and an explanation would have been welcomed.

But blah blah blah should have sufficed I guess.
