Home Arenas of 2017 NCAA Tournament Teams

I made a similar thread last year when our beloved Hokies made the NIT, so I figured this would be fun to do again. However, since NCAA games are played at neutral sites whereas the NIT higher seeds get to host games, there's only a couple of these that will actually make an appearance on your TV (like Dayton's arena, which hosts the First Four). For the purposes of this thread, I'm going to list the arenas in 1-68 order according to the seeding released by the NCAA found here:
