Empire 8

I know its early, but my prediction will be another face pace, high tempo game from both teams. The score will either be in the 80's-90's.

Can anyone give me an example of another sectional clearing the gym after the first game?

UW-Stevens Point's sectional is a split session.
Lawrence's sectional last year was a split session.

bports,
can we give up the hosting crap and get to the actual game?

Come on FA91, if we are still talking about it that must be evidence that this is a serious topic in need of further excruciating debate.  In fact, after listening to the Fisher faithful whine about not hosting a few years ago, and now the 'Port and Wooster faithful complaining this year, it occurs to me that Ithaca has been slighted.  Why aren't WE hosting it at the Bulb?  Or, for that matter, why aren't the games being played at Butterfield Stadium?  Show me where, in the criteria, it says you have to actually be playing in the Regional to host it.

"First, second-round and sectional competition will be conducted on the campuses of the participating institutions. The semifinals and finals will be conducted at the Salem Civic Center, Salem, Virginia."

Well then I think that rule unfairly discriminates against the teams who weren't good enough to make the Championship Rounds.

Yeah seeing Whitmore on the opposing bench (ex-cardinal) will be interesting. I'm sure he would like to see nothing more than knocking us out. Its not like he's never been in a sweet 16 game before. Their assistant coach Greg Dunne(ex-nazareth, great shooter) would as well. Also, he is such a whinner during the game.

I just got an email saying the games will be split sessions. Fisher has already sold half their allotment.

UW-Stevens Point's sectional is a split session.
Lawrence's sectional last year was a split session.

So was Albion's in 2005.

Just out of curiosity, who gets the ticket money from NCAA Tournament Games?  I am assuming it is the NCAA but not sure.  If it is the host school, then I suppose they have an incentive to split the games into two events.

well you have to assume the school gets a piece if only to be able to cover the costs of hosting.

It's possible the NCAA covers the costs of hosting...

I think we're saying the same thing here. If the host school gave the NCAA the ticket money and the NCAA covered hosting costs its essentially the same thing as the host school keeping the needed money, unless of course the school didn't make enough in ticket sales.
