Has Anybody Else Seen The New Format For The Conf. Tourney ?

I dont agree with it all. If I go I want to see all the men's games. And on Sunday the 2 men's quarterfinal games will practically be going on at the same time but in different arena's. One game will start at 6:30 in Summit and one will start at 6:45 in the Convention Center. What i always liked about tournaments is you could see the match-ups develop. The 2 teams that would play each other in the semi-final would be playing at the same time. Also to me this would affect attendance for each of those games. I think it was just fine how they had it. And i liked having the play in game. . And then the girls on Saturday and boys on Sunday. Why mess up a good thing?

Why not have all the first round and quarterfinal games in one gym for instance have all the boys game in Summit or the Convention Center and the girls games in either one as well?

I would have liked for the entire men's tourney to be at Summit Arena and have the first 2 rounds of the women's tourney at the Convention Center Arena, but that's just me. I don't think they wanted to show any favoritism and this way, you won't have one school's men's and women's team playing at the same time (except for the possibility at the 2:30 time slot on Saturday). One ticket will get you in to both games, and you'll be able to walk back and forth whenever you want.

I do like have all of the teams going to Hot Springs though. I think it will make overall attendance better.
