Arrived in Chattanooga tonight. Planning on waking up bright and early the women's games tomorrow. Should be a long, long day of basketball.
Anyone from here going?

wow... that's some interesting scheduling...
is the goal to prop up the women's tourney with the men's or is it more of a "well, we're here anyway... what the hell?" kinda thing?
those 9 am start times are just flat out dickish.

Yeah, it's a cost-saving measure. Thankfully next year when the tourney moves to Asheville, the women won't have to play those morning games as they'll play the first two rounds at UNCA while the men play at the Civic Center.

Well after a pretty horrible year, Greensboro takes out Davidson. Off and on year for the Wildcats but they are very young and will be trouble over the next couple of years.

Good to see Davidson sent home in the opening game two years in a row.

Looks like the semis are as expected with the possible exception of Furman instead of Chattanooga. Gotta love it when the host team loses.

Congrats Wofford.
Hey, at 18-15, WCU may land in one of the smaller tourneys. I can live with 2 SoCon North co-titles within the last 3 years. Hoops in Cullowhee will be good for seasons to come.
C'mon Furman......please beat Charleston!

attendance did suck overall
I was impressed with the Wofford crowd, though. They were more numerous and louder than any other fanbase (not counting UTC).
