Analysis: Fayetteville field typically has 'regional' feel

FAYETTEVILLE — Who will be sent to Fayetteville for this week's NCAA regional?

That is the question on the minds of Arkansas fans as Monday's NCAA Tournament selection show nears.

The Razorbacks will be hosting for the third year in a row and in a regional for the 17th time in 18 seasons. That consistency provides good context for what the NCAA selection committee tries to accomplish in its regional pairings.

There can be some surprises, such as Arkansas being sent to Arizona State in 2011 or to Virginia in 2014, but for the most part regionals have a regional feel.
