Not really part of topic, but would UK, Louisville, IU, and ND ever consider playing a 4 team tourney in Freedom/Conseco? Just think how big and how much money that could make.

It'd be nice but with the expansion of conference games with growing conferences and UK already committed to the Champions Classic (w/ Duke, Kansas, and Michigan State) long-term I don't see it happening.

I loved when we played Notre Dame regularly though. Wish we'd pick that series back up.

No, but we do get a free Taco Bell taco with more than 6 three's.

Jacksonville is a dump. I spent a lot of time there when my brother lived there.

Memphis would be a great location. There are a lot of hotels within walking distance of the arena, as well as a short walk to Beale.

I love the Savis Arena in St. Louis, but it is extremely small...it would be great due to location in St. Louis, but I do not see it there.


Nashville is a favorite with the SEC....they love the location.


They would play in the .Scottrade Center, not Savis(SLU).

SLU doesn't play at Savvis anymore. They've held Regionals in Savvis but the Reg Finals and Final 4 have been in some. But if SEC went to STL it would be due to a Final 4 rule, so the dome is home.

Never happening. Uk already has a big enough advantage as it is.

I havent been there, they said it is pretty nice. It has to be better than the one they played a NIT or something in St Charles. I still love the Arena the best though, it was such a dump though. I liked the old Keil also, with the gargoyles on the entrance.
