Nascar is Yuge.
As it turns out, my daughter's boyfriend (who is a high school football and basketball coach in the Denver area), had a mentor give him tickets for the final game of the Pac-12 tourney, which I'm really hoping is the Ducks vs AZ or UCLA.

So that worked out nicely
Is the tournament in Vegas? If so, at the MGM or Thomas and Mack?

Most coaches hate those conference tournaments unless it means it is the only chance of their team getting in to the big dance.

For the better teams, you risk injury to a player, and you take away rest needed for your player's legs. If you lose the stupid thing, you could be dropped from a No. 1 or No. 2 to a lower seeding. I believe that coaches of very good and solid teams would like to tank the game and exit from the tournament on the first round.


Didn't the NCAA already seed the tournament? I thought I'd read that they did it a couple of weeks ago. Didn't understand it, but I don't follow college hoops anymore.
No they have to wait until all the conference tournaments are finished until they do that. Some of the conference tournaments (smaller schools) will start soon. Then they should release the seedings on Sunday the 12th in the afternoon
It's at T-Mobile
Back in the early 80s, the Big East Tournament at MSG was incredible. From the Friday Quadheader to the Sunday Finals, it was some of the best BBall I ever saw.
Georgetown with Patrick Ewing against St Johns with Chris Mullen, Mark Jackson, Walter Berry and Bill Wennington. Syracuse with Pearl Washington, Coleman, Hawkins and the rest.
A student ticket to all three days was $20.
These days, there are far too many one and done players for me.
