    The Elite 8 game between Iowa and Louisville drew 2.5M viewers on ESPN...

    That's more than any NBA games on the network this season.

    As the country moves more to the Right, I do wonder if we are seeing the end of the likes of the NBA -- 2-5 years hence, under a Trump or DeSantis Presidency...

    Some of the women's games were really excellent. SC is in for a battle
    in its next two games. The weakest team seems to be LSU.

    Arena size? 19.4K compared to 72.2K. The Men's price is for the nosebleed section, I am sure.

    I went to the 1989 Final Four at the Kingdome in Seattle. I had never
    sat that high before, and it was interesting. You could definitely see
    the whole game unfold without moving your head, and it allowed you to
    see things you wouldn't have otherwise noticed. For instance the
    pushoff by Glen Rice on Nick Anderson that allowed Michigan to score
    the winning basket and beat Illinois.*

    Another consideration is that it’s in Houston, home of an ousted #1 seed.
    How many Houston fans are dumping tickets?

    I like women's basketball - when Ohio State women are playing. They
    made it the Elite Eight this year - for the first time since 1993. So it
    was a big deal for Buckeye fans. However, what I absolutely do not
    care about at all is the NBA. You would have to pay me to sit
    through an NBA game. Seriously - I'd rather watch paint dry!

    The word "exclusively" should appear somewhere.
