mujack Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 What does everyone think about the extra week after the regionals to avoid BBall? I personally think it kills a team with MO, and is not needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 What does everyone think about the extra week after the regionals to avoid BBall? I personally think it kills a team with MO, and is not needed Friday-Sunday could work on the basketball weekend, that's what I'd like to see. I didn't like the early Saturday start for the finals in the past. And you want to avoid the evening time slot on that Saturday like the plague.

nodakvindy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'd like to see the tourney changed to eliminate the regionals and go to a format more like baseball. The bracket is seeded 1 to 16 with inter-conference matchups avoided in the first round and also second round if possible. The bracket is then set up Weekend one (same as now)- 1st Round - best of three series at higher seed. - 8 advance Weekend two (Final Four weekend)- 2nd Round - best of three series at higher seed. - 4 advance Frozen Four (same as now) - Neutral site single elimination as it is now. This eliminates the problem of weak attendance at regionals and increases the likelihood that the best teams reach the Frozen Four. There are also at least twice as many games in the first two rounds (read - more $$) with likely much larger gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
