The Unofficial 2014 SEC Tournament Thread

One team: Kansas Jayhawks. They are the Kentucky of the Big 12, and I am guessing they provide many of the fans.

I do agree though that Dallas would probably be a great spot. Kansas fans would travel, and it is closer to other big programs.

I get that the campus is close, but it still just seems odd...it'd almost be like us holding something in North Carolina.

I also remember that the risk of losing the income/business/travellers from the yearly tournament was one of the reason's the Kansas City part of Missouri's Board of Curators(/Trustees) put up quite a bit of opposition to the move to the SEC (at least enough of one that the Tigers promised they would try to get some sort of tournament played or started up there).

Then again, it looks like the tournament was already scheduled there through 2016...so it could very well just be a matter of those tournaments already having been scheduled/signed under contract to be there prior.

It'd be nice to see those two TBD years in somewhere new.

Birmingham, or New Orleans most likely if not Atlanta

I'm not sure we see Birmingham again, against those two.

I've read a few things either this year or last about either St. Louis trying to make play for it or Slive saying he'd like the tournament to eventually be held there one year.

(Sorry it's been a while; I can't remember the article exactly)

truthfully, I'd like Arky to win. If CM is what he is showing recently and we deserve the bid, then go beat them tomorrow instead of somehow backing into it.

The logic behind that, if I recall, is that it would be good for the three most passionate basketball fan bases (Arky, mizzou, ky).

Surprised St. Louis is not on that list as I remember it as something Missouri was pushing

SC up 1 about 30 seconds left...this would eliminate Arky from ncaa discussion and give us an easier game tomorrow

Ok, that makes sense. Plus new major-city market hosting a major conference event.

Don't know what the case is there. When would the votes on the two TBD sites come? (Or would there be resistance because of the state's "newer" status in the footprint? It's like what one of the 2nd or 3rd biggest populated markets in the footprint now, right?)

Tennessee is in the NCAA tourney with a win tomorrow over a lower tier team playing their 3rd game in 3 days...I like our odds

Logic dictates that it should be a 20+ pt win... but I still have a bad feeling about this one.
