There's always plenty of hotel rooms in Baton Rouge because no one wants to visit that dump.
Oof.
Oof.

Wow that’s supposed to be a “nice dorm that’s basically the same as a hotel”?

Yikes. This is going from bad to worse for UK.

But they are nicer than hotel rooms.

Depends on the hotel. They are nicer than 9/10 hotel rooms in the state of Arkansas.

Here is the room.
Looks like they ran into some issues last night.
I understand UK's side of things. They can't control other events and presented something that should work. But they cheaped out and stuck them in the cheapest option when there are larger, newer, and nicer dorms. It's a logistics nightmare for those traveling not on the team.
They should have worked out a deal with UL or the Bats to use their park and host everyone in a bigger city.

@wmattwells
is on the ball and the A/C problem is fixed and they have mattress toppers incoming for the players.

Hopefully WVU wins the regional and leaves giant shits all over your shitty dorm rooms.

You think they shouldn't say something if the AC is out?

Don’t be mad just bc Lexington is poppin. Railbird will have twice the number attend than people that live in Morgantown.
They also easily could’ve stayed in a hotel in Louisville if they wanted to. It’s an easy straight drive

It's pretty lame they put them in the old dorms. I thought this is what they were getting.

Bats are in town this whole weekend against Worcester.
It would be a cold day in Hell when UofL coordinates to allow Kentucky to host anything in Louisville.

That's what Indiana is doing, staying at the alternative hotel in Louisville. They all had that option.

Host Institution/Conference/Sponsoring Agency Obligations
The host institution/conference or sponsoring agency must guarantee sufficient housing is available to meet the room block needs identified in the sports specific bid specifications. Properties must meet the required service levels and be in reasonable proximity to the event venues.

I am not sure 90+ min meets reasonable proximity. That would be like sticking a basketball team in College Station for the Final Four in Houston.

I posted where the NCAA committee commented and said that since Kentucky provide dorm accommodations, they felt that was sufficient.
Louisville to Lexington (going speed limit) is right at 90 minutes. And that’s only if they were to put them in downtown lodging. You could get that under 90 minutes easy putting them in lodging in the East End of Louisville.
