Especially since you don't know who will be in it, crap teams would make it
I'm sure there will be cheap tickets for sale outside after the first day. Maybe even the first 1/2 day.

lol....yessir I agree!
If UK makes that regional to play in Rupp, I'm going for sure then !
You cant play tournament games on your home floor so UK will not be there. I see them playing in Columbus maybe though.
Yeah, the host University cannot play in their own arena. In case that UK is a 1-3 seed next year, they will be in Columbus for the first 2 rounds and then go to St.Louis for the 3/4th rounds and then hopefully on to CATLANTA for the Final 4 !!!

Imo, I think UK will be as high as a #2 seed next year...hopefully a #1
Great news for Lexington.
sounds great for the Lexington area. Really good to showcase Rupp. But heck, $150 a pop, my couch is a whole lot softer and I can say what I want to the refs.

OH, I wasnt aware of that !
I wonder if Freedom Hall ever held the opening rounds (too small, will never happen) if Kentucky would get to play there? Duke ALWAYS gets to open the tournament in their back yard. Would UK?
I was thinkin about goin but i dont want to go and have to see teams that aren't that good
