Mizzou, why don't your fans want to go to the ATL for the SEC Tourney?

No sense in snagging tickets from Mizzou since the Rebs are gonna repeat and Henderson will cement his spot as tGOAT.

Why would anyone drive any distance whatsoever for the SEC basketball tournament?

UK fans are starting to remind me more and more of kansas fans. Non-existent during football season and then talking shite about SEC basketball tournament ticket allotments of all things during their few months of glory. Whatever, man.

Our fans can't afford cars, plane tickets, hotels, or probably even tourney tickets.

Honestly the worst thing about the SEC move for us is the placement of the basketball conference tournaments. We had the Big Eight then Big 12 tourney in Kansas City for years and years and years and it was a ton of fun for us. I went to them annually growing up. It was close by not just for Mizzou and kansas but also K-State, Iowa State would bring tons of fans too. Oklahoma and Okie State when good would have solid contingents. Great atmosphere.

SEC tournaments by contrast seem pretty much to consist of: an overwhelming UK majority regardless of which city its played in, followed by a smattering of whatever local team is closest to the host city, and not much else.

I did go to ATL for Mizzou's SEC football championship game this year (it was fun, WildcatMike, UK should really try it some time). I probably won't go there for hoops this year just because from a work scheduling standpoint its a long flight and if Mizzou does make the NCAA tourney I'd rather have the work time off to fly out to the NCAA first and second rounds...and if Mizzou doesn't make the NCAA tourney then well the SEC tourney will just be a depressing experience anyway.

Because prices drop when UK gets knocked out. Maybe they figure if they make it far UK will be done and they'll get the second hand tickets from UK fans
