Could see Memphis again

I don't think Nova is athletic enough to stay with Memphis. I watched Nova's game vs Morgan State and I thought "This is not a very good basketball team." Don't let the 100-77 score fool you. it was a 4 point game with 1 minute left in the first half before Nova started to pull away.

Not a bad team in the tourney, so any and all games would be nice to attend. These are the "mid-major" type teams.

UAB
Canisius
College of Charleston

All will have winning records and be in some kind of postseason basketball if they want it, so whatever game will be a good test. Would love to see an LSU matchup versus Florida State personally even more so than Villanova.

They definitely are going through some growing pains after losing so much from last year's championship team. However, it's hard to imagine Jay Wright won't get them playing better soon. He's just too good of a coach not to.

At least right now, FSU looks like the favorite in the tournament. Hopefully LSU won't overlook Charleston so we can get that matchup.

Already have a reservation at NYNY, and paid the most I've ever paid for college hoops ticket. Making a 4-day weekend of it.

might be a few people show up for when FSU plays, other than that I've seen the stands for this tourney on TV and they are never very full

in other words, very easy for walk up tickets

If they win on Thursday the next game would be scheduled for 4:30 Friday. A loss Thursday and the game would be at 6:30/7 Friday. So hopefully and probably 4:30.

ETA: Bracket Below

The only reason I'm hesitating about going to this game is that I just went to Vegas last month for a weekend to see System of a Down.

Not really sure if I'll have the money to blow on another Vegas trip

I have heard through the grapevine that LSU is bringing close to 100 fans on a plane with the team from BR. I am not sure if it was something TAF put together, or the Alumni Association, or what....but 100 fans in a small-ish venue will definitely make some noise and help the team.
