Seeing as I go between boards, I think I read something on the Illini board that Huff doesn't have lines for a basketball court set up as it is used primarily for V-ball now. Could be wrong and not sure how difficult that is to set up, but it is at least a rumor. Another question is why couldn't they just give the Illini 1/4 of the bracket the Tuesday games? It is what it is. And apparently the Stony Brook gym they are playing in hasn't been used in 2 years because they can't even fill their "small" gym. SB is however giving away free tickets to all their students and it is their first post season game ever. Knowing the Illini I've watched all year, it'll be closer than everyone expects unless BW can actually light a fire under them. They don't show up for the easy games.
Why don't they play at a NEUTRAL SITE? Like we had to do in 2004 against ND?
Illini home away from home has always been the UC in Chicago. Why not play there or UIC pavillion. More UI grads in Chicago than students in Cham-Urb.

Every win by an A-10 team brings a share of the TV money to the conference which is then split by all the teams (including SLU). Hell yes I'm rooting for X. I want to see Richmond, X, and Temple in the damn final four.
I mean, can you tell me what that money goes to? Moving the A-10 offices? Salary of commissioners? You say that like we all get a slice of the pie, but it goes without saying that those schools get a larger piece. I am not a fan of that.

The Dayton people have the attitude, not the Xavier folks. I'm all in for the Xmen.
That's a toss-up...
-
Xavier will trounce Minnesota.
I think it will be a close contest. Tubby will outcoach CMack. the U will have to be stingy on D.

It is true that no team has home court advantage all the way through unless they play their home games at the Garden
. But the higher seed does get all home games until the semi's. U of I will play all other games at home b/c there are no conflicts. Lots of people on the U of I board are asking the same question about playing at Huff or even a nearby arena rather than Rocky River or what ever team the Illini play. Go Bills!!!
looking good after 7 posts! keep it up! Go bills!

but its for the good of the A10 which benefits us.
It didn't help us this year. Although the argument rising out of that is we didn't help ourselves, but that's besides the point
-
Xavier is not our rival. Xavier doing well is good for SLU. Minnesota doing well is bad for SLU.
Sure they are. Jesuit school, solid academic reputation. Marquette isn't our rival anymore, so X seems logical.
-
I don't have any animosity. I don't get why we'd want to root for them. We don't root for them when they play us. You don't root for your rivals.
-
As much as I want the A-10 to do well, I just can't root for Xavier. I'm sorry. Go GOPHERS.

It's like the health care bill - nobody cares about the CBI.

The First 150 student tickets purchased using the Royal Bank Student Ticket Offer are FREE. You must go upto the ticket window to get these.
Please I urge you if you are willing to pay 10 dollars to do so as a student.
$10 for a free ticket? Doesn't make sense.

Good to be potentially teamed up with Michael Jordan.
