I think the rotation/depth chart is a subject worthy of discussion. I will post over in the 2012-2013 season thread as it applies to the whole season, rather than just the tournament.

I cn of like the 4 games in 4 nights format. The teams with the bye really get rewarded, and I absolutely think we're capable of getting a bye. If we're outside the top 5 (yes I know the 5 seed will have to win 4 games in 4 nights) our ncaa tourny hopes will be slim anyways. Plus, I think we should have one of the deeper teams in the a10, so this could be to our advantage.

I liked first round on campus. Not sure why they would get rid of that format.

I agree with you, I thought that setup was far superior in just about every way to the 4 games in 4 days at a neutral site.

Might have to do with the venue's requirements.

That might be it. Barclays might have asked for 4 days, and 2 more gates.

I like this format better, to be honest. It looks and feels like a real tournament.

Pros and cons...biggest factor to me is the return of a big benefit for the bye teams. At a good time for us, as we look to be in the mix for that over the next two years at least.

We (this site and our readers) MIGHT be getting a discount ticket deal thru the Barclays Center. May know more in a few weeks.

That's exciting! I was just down in Brooklyn yesterday, and thinking about how much I would enjoy four solid days of a10 hoops.
