Can anyone help with ticket questions? Looks like prices are coming down a bit on stub hub and I'm considering going down tonight. What "session" would the Cats be in for tonight? Stubhub has tickets available for 3/9 but they are separated in session 2 and session 3? I don't know what this means and I assume the Cats are session 3 but i'm not sure.

TIA

I guess that is a possibility.  Otherwise, we would need 6 Wednesday games, or to add some Tuesday games with a double-bye scenario like the SEC and Big Ten have going this year, and the Big East had in the past.

I also love it, but I’m not sure you can call it a bracket at that point. It should instead look like the tower you climb in Mortal Kombat single player.

I love it.  Reminds me of a piece I read about radical ideas to change baseball - one of the wilder suggestions was to change the postseason to a ladder-style tournament, starting in July or August with the two worst teams in a one-game series, ramping up to the usual seven-game World Series in late October.

on one hand it's probably good to reward the two best regular season teams the most. On the other it's bold move to minimize the number of tv appearances for your highest profile teams.

Isn’t this style of bracket intended to make sure a bottom dweller has less chance to eff up the bids of a league that usually only gets 1 or 2?

Usually the WCC only gets the semis and finals on ESPN even before they went to this format.

well I mean this year they have the quarters on ESPN2 for 5 total games. It's kinda surprising ESPN would give them more slots that are guaranteed to not contain Gonzaga.

It’s tournament season. Obviously if can’t speak for others but I just want to watch high stakes, exciting games. I don’t care if I’ve even heard of the teams that are playing if I know the game could have implications for the NCAA championship.
