Go SMU.

I also am rooting for SMU. U Conn has struggled all year. I really don't think they deserve the NCAA plus they are playing almost in their back yard. SMU is the better team.
 
Can't watch that game right now, but is Doris doing the color?

this tournament loses all credibility for having it at UConn's home court. They are going to make their money though fairness be damned

GO SMU!
 
Whatever #21's name is on SMU has essentially smothered Boatwright in the few minutes I've seen....somehow Tulsa let Boatwright get open looks late in the game yesterday to generate a comeback when they were down 9 with under 4 minutes to go....Boatwright is now shadowed by a 6'5, 205, long armed, agile athlete who is staying disciplined and not allowing any cheap open looks.

Purvis has 10 of UConn's 19 points and unless Boatwright gets layups in transition, I don't see Larry Brown allowing Boatwright to go bonkers in the 2nd half.

SMU has size and length on backboards as well, don't see anyway they blow this game. UConn just is limited this year to one dangerous player and will be better next year when they get Sterling Gibbs or someone like that as a 5th year transfer.
 
Nonsense. It was at Memphis last year. Probably will be in Cincy too. The RAC held the A10 way back. It the least the AAC could do. Being in that league bites for Uconn.

how is it nonsense having a tournament on one teams home court.

the A10 finals was held at the RAC in 91 because we were the highest seed left...not the whole freakin tournament. That's not fair and it wasn't fair it was held in Memphis last year. So what it bites for UConn, they chose their fate to follow football

The American men's tournament was in Memphis last year and heads to Orlando for two years next year.

Women, yes. But where else will they sell ANY tickets for that?
 
Sorry but it seems they are always at home and glad they lost.

I think we hosted the whole thing in the mid-80s either once or twice. I seem to remember us playing the final vs. Temple at the RAC during John Battle's senior year.
 
The Eastern 8/A-10 tournament started off miserably at the Philadelphia Spectrum but then had several good years at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena, due to the three local teams, counting WVU. But after Pitt moved to the BE, the A-10 started having the tournament at a member school to try to ensure better ticket sales. Aside from RU (just once, I think), I can't recall who else hosted it. Probably WVU, perhaps PSU. Can't recall - once Littlepage came to RU, I didn't really follow it closely. But then in the magical 88-89 season, they came up with the formula of using the Palestra for the early rounds with the final to be held at the home court of the higher seeded team. That led to the famous "Back to the RAC" game vs. Temple following PSU's upset of #1 WVU. I'm sure several here were at that game, which was played during a blizzard that was not enough to deter a few thousand RU fans from making it down (and back) from the game.

The Palestra made sense because it was pretty likely that at least one team with a local following (RU, St. Joseph's, Temple, and PSU) was always likely to have a decent team. But most conferences don't have fan bases with any real tradition of traveling and so are pretty much forced to have a home court team involved. Something has to pay the bills and the A-10 had almost no TV money coming in back then.
 
ecojew,
I think that the Palestra format worked well. Neutral ground, equal footing to start then the highest seed is rewarded at the end, making the regular season meaningful. I enjoy the tournaments where the final is played on the highest seed's home floor. They are some of my favorite games every year.
