What was so bad seeing 2 HOF coaches and Bilas, McDonough on the call?

I meant it generically...especially the first round games.

I live about 10 minutes from the XL and I picked up a pair of tickets, front row behind the visiting bench for tomorrow for under $60 for the pair. they can't give away enough tickets.
Don't judge me, I love college basketball of any kind!

Well I had the best seats in the house for the afternoon session. First row, sitting right behind the ECU and then Temple bench. The games were both well contested. The crowd was mostly dead. Has some douchebag Uconn fans sitting close by. Really annoying group of people, obviously.
The whole thing is a bit on the amateurish side compared to most events I have been to. Memphis didn't even bring their band or cheerleaders.
Not bad for $50 for 2 people though. Hartford is not the ideal place for this tournament.

In all seriousness, it's better for that conference if they cement the thing in Memphis full time. Catering to UConn with the Hartford locale is a net $$$ loser. Plus, UConn will run the minute a better conference offer comes, so why invest the time and energy trying to establish a following for the tourney in CT? Actually, they should move it between Memphis and New Orleans.
