Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 2588787, member: 2527"] I am perfectly aware of Regionals up East as Texas as been sent there twice recently. But, it is not the same as UK getting to host three consecutive regionals at Rupp Arena (even if the women play at the coliseum). Just my opinion, but Lexington had done nothing in the past to prove they supported women's basketball regionals. Perhaps award them one, and see how it goes, and then re-visit future regionals there. UConn fans have proven that they will travel to all the locations you noted. They aren't on campus, or even in nearby Hartford. NCAA like fan attendance and ticket revenue. If UConn hasn't been a high seed, and was shipped out to another regional in a different time zone, then those regional sites in Bridgeport and Albany would probably have empty arenas; but, the NCAA was willing to take that risk, and the attendance has been more than ideal.
