RogoBob posts some big news on the other Board:
It looks like just making the Conference Tourney will be a challenge for the Titans this season

People aren't going to take 3 days off work to attend (Mon semifinal, Tuesday final, Wednesday drive home). You've simply got to do a Sat/Sun. afternoon. Of course, maybe they are giving up on MC Madness already.

A big part is probably our spot with ESPN right for airing of the final game? Would we move to another date and be okay with the final being on ESPN 2 instead? I do agree that the 3 days to commit to being off work/school is too much.
Dates aside...I'm not against the new format. I like rewarding teams for what they've done during the regular season - and having games on campus is fun for supporters. I'm also not against not all teams making it. Heck, if you've lost for 3 months of regular seaason play thats on you.

Be a shame to miss it. Feels like the program missed out on a big opportunity by failing to make an on court impact during the HL tournament the past two years. It was a good chance to make a big splash locally, and we just didn't make it happen.

Here's my concern, ESPN3 = free; ESPN+ = pay per month; This is why it's a key detail

It's encouraging that the tourney in Detroit has had increased attendance on a year to year basis. I expect the number would have been better if the Titans had managed to win a game or two the past two seasons. I still think a Detroit/OU final would draw very well. The good thing about the HL being one of the shrinking number of conferences that still make geographic sense is that the conference tourney site, no matter where it is, will likely be an easy road trip, and affordable in terms of things like lodging.
