Message: [QUOTE="ConnZag3, post: 4303009, member: 5078"] Yeah throwing the women's teams into the mix in Portland this time really screwed up the scheduling compared to 2017 for the PK80. I bought the package on sale currently for Moda and you are correct that you'd get a UConn game guaranteed on day 1, but they would definitely not play there on day 2 because the other bracket is playing there. Since I'm also a Gonzaga fan, I'm fine knowing they'll play at Moda on day 2 for sure, but hopefully not the same time as UConn at what I assume would be the Veterans Coliseum. My biggest concern is if the men's teams end up playing at the Chiles Center at U Portland because that's a good few miles from the Moda/Veterans complex so not nearly as quick a trip as it is been the 2 neighboring buildings. I would think that would only happen for like the 7th place game of each tournament but logic doesn't always win out in scheduling these tournaments... It was awesome in 2017 having a full pass for both venues because you could just bail on a game that sucked in one building and head over to the other building for the other one going on at the same time. It was pricey, but for me as a overall CBB fan, it was great. The women's games were a single doubleheader in Eugene in 2017 on the off day for the men's tournament so it was perfect where the winner's bracket played in Moda on the final Sunday (first and third place games). Now it's only championship games so if your team doesn't make the champ game, who knows where they'll play at this point. I think it's going to be a lot more of a secondary market tournament this time for tickets because of having 3 venues instead of 2, but besides UNC being absolutely loaded next year, I'm not sure any other team's fans can for sure expect to be in the champ game at this point. I'm hoping they give us folks who bought the current package some benefits for the other buildings but as TheRick mentioned above, seems like they're holding out to summer to say anything further about scheduling for the non-Moda games.
