Because Missouri is a school in the SEC and St Louis is a large city on the Eastern border of Missouri that is within reasonable driving distance of fans of Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

They're all close and it actually means something to them. Outside of Bama this tourney means very little. I would like for A&M to win a few just to get off the 8/9 seed, but other than that, meh.

11 seed is better anyway. So, your strategy should pretty clearly be to lose on Thursday. Fresh legs for a 11/6 game then on to beating a 3 and get a 4 in the S16.

Boom - you are welcome.

I've been looking forward to Arch Madness.

What kind of deadbeat doesn't like visiting different cities?*



*except Tampa. F Tampa and the SEC if they ever go back to that sh**hole for anything

I would too, especially with the teams that both of us have.

If either of us play awful we'll lose to a 8/9 or a 6. If either of us play pretty well we are more than capable of controlling and winning a game against a 6. Then, once you get past that point, you get 2 straight games against teams that you can truly feel like you can beat and then holy shite you are in the Elite 8.

I'd much prefer a 11 seed than a 8/9 at this point.

If MU's game(s) aren't packed then this is a huge embarrassment for them. The SEC is doing them a favor and trying to include them here since the transition hasn't been so smooth.

Yea, with a NCAA team, the possible return of MPJ and games in St Louis.............you'd hope for their sake the arena is packed with black and gold.

It will be...i don't know why you think it wouldn't. It's not like Missouri has never played in St Louis.

No alcohol at SEC conference wide events I don't think. They might sell them in Club levels or something. It's a weird rule.

Sorry Baw, looks like us Hicks from the South are hesitant to travel to eat your shitty pizza on a saltine cracker crust, eat that shitty custard you call ice cream and shitty Italian food on that hill. Looks like ticket sales are not going well. Offering single session/day tickets (which is rare to be offered).

Your Honor

Regarding the original question ending with "again".

The question is "Has the SEC had the basketball tournament in Saint Louis previous to 2018?" and if so when was it.

I will sit down, hang up and await your answer.
