Looking Forward to AAC First Tournament....Where Will It Be

[gtcam]

What if 3 teams from the national top 10 are in it?

Actually you could have UCONN, Lville, Memphis, Cincy and Temple all in the mix(top 25) - Houston looks like it may be tough also

Tulsa and East Carolina aren't in the basketball conference next season. That starts in 2014.
I was thinking Lousiville, Memphis and UConn.

i was playing stupid

The semifinals and finals would be an OK draw. Thursday afternoon round of 8 with UCF, Houston against Cincy and Memphis? $25 tickets at the Palestra might not sell out. Move it to Wells for the semis? Maybe. The A10 and CUSA tried several formats..

Yes - 2nd rate. Most of its seating is bench and it lacks the modern amenities that most newer venues have. There are no video scoreboards, the concourse is small, and the bathrooms are very dated. It may have history but it has little else. The A-10 abandoned it years ago for its tournament.

Do you have a reading comprehension issue? You quoted my post, which blatantly states "..putting the tourney there is a bad call..", yet you continue to argue that point. Watching a game at the Palestra is a great experience, and that's all I'm saying. If you need to be coddled with a soft chair back seat and luxury bathrooms when you go to a game then you have other issues, aside from your lack of basic reading skills.

If the place is a pit, the tourney shouldn't be held there.

Bleachers versus seatback is a big deal for a conference tourney. Not so much for a single game, but you simply cannot hold a tourney in such a place.
