Message: [QUOTE="sarals24, post: 2111310, member: 1740"] Normally, there would be plenty of tickets available, but UConn figured their team would be in the Bridgeport region and so snapped them up. There's nothing wrong with that, at all. Because (and this is obviously a hypothetical) there was no guarantee that UConn would actually be sent there - it just made the most sense. So fans were taking a gamble in that sense. Maryland fans could have done the same thing. And if the normal allocation is 100, why would the NCAA change it? Maryland's problem is that they weren't a 1 or 2 seed, and so they had much less control over where they were sent. If they had been a likely 1 seed, like UConn, they could have figured out their region earlier and bought tickets accordingly. [/QUOTE]
