Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2690742, member: 5798"] Someone once said "[I]The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few[/I]". While I whole heartedly agree with your thoughts since I too reside on the west coast, it will never happen. We'll have to settle for seeeing them in person every 3-4 years when they come west to play a school in the western region. They play most of their games in the east and mid-west. n spite of that fact, they've got many loyal fans in the western part of the country that they seldom get to see. UConn is a guranteed selloutout for whatever venue they are assigned to for the EAST regional games. The majority of their fan base is located in the northeastern part of the country. Many of them buy their tickets to the regional games long before the brackets are annnounced, because they know UConn will be there. That would not be the case [U]IF[/U] they were[B] forced[/B] to come to the west coast. UConn administrators and fans would scream and holler like you've never heard before. It has happened to other #1 seeds, but seldom to the overall #1 seed. UConn will have some concerns come tournament time. Being assigned to the West Regional will not be one of them. ;) [/QUOTE]
