Clemson and UAB learned of their NCAA Tournament inclusion and situations last night at around 6:15 p.m. Both are due in Dayton, Ohio, for on-site media obligations this morning. That session, which includes just the teams playing tomorrow, is from 11:20 a.m.-2:15 p.m. I’m not sure who goes when, but they’re definitely in that window. The teams practice in the arena and before the public, as well, and then usually go off and work on their own somewhere in private.

The Tigers and Blazers play at 9 p.m. tomorrow, which we know is more like 9:30. The NCAA provides the transportation, so I’d assume a plane will be waiting for them after the game, but there’s a media process involved there, too.

They’re not getting out of Dayton fast — the game likely won’t be a blowout and you know both teams will stretch it out as long as they can if they’re trailing late; the locker room has to be open for a set amount of time after the game — and they’re not getting to Tampa, Fla., very early.

Doesn’t matter. The winner is due again at the on-site media session/practice session Wednesday morning and is actually up first with the 11:20 a.m. press conference slot. The winner plays WVU at 12:15 p.m. Thursday on CBS. That’s quite a stretch for the last two teams allowed into the event.
