Oh the good ol days of refreshing box scores
Spokane? More like Spookane, if you ask me.I would think this could lead to more upsets, no? Kansas in Omaha, Gonzaga in Spokane, Duke in Greensboro lose a lot of crowd support in their early games.
Just the opposite. I've been going to the tournament for 30+ consecutive years. What happens is when the underdog starts winning, instead of 2,500 fans behind them, it turns into 20,000 fans behind them. The underdog gets a huge jolt and the favorite panics.I would think this could lead to more upsets, no? Kansas in Omaha, Gonzaga in Spokane, Duke in Greensboro lose a lot of crowd support in their early games.
Of course they'll be broadcast. That's where the real money is.
You beat me to this postFinally Duke won't be playing home games in the tourney.
Last year, they had close to 1M people walk through the gates and believe me, the tickets aren't cheap.Every time a dollar of revenue is lost, an NCAA executive cries.
Suit yourself. LolActually I might prefer this over TV watching and empty arena and the only noise being squeaking shoes. The crowd/atmosphere is a big part of making the game enjoyable to watch.
But they will still get the calls.Finally Duke won't be playing home games in the tourney.
The players and refs too, that would be must see tv.Might as well mic up the coaches again.
To me, it should be all or nothing. not looking out for the players safety?
Far too much money on the line. Money talks.
