Went about as well as you could hope. I wasn't able to catch the 2nd half of the Gonzaga game, but it's pretty cool they pulled it out. And they get to play the S16 and E8 games should they make it that far at the arena. That's pretty awesome.

Nice to see WSU doing something in the NIT as well. One game away from the NIT final four. I honestly thought they would lose against Oklahoma State. Glad they could avenge the 81-29 loss to OSU from a few years back.

Vandersloot and Standish have been out of this world good those 2 games. And will be nice to have home court advantage! Was surprised to see WSU survive too, especially with Casto in foul trouble all night. Nice o have Thompson as a fallback option, huh?:)

Oh, I hear ya. I'll only watch Gonzaga and some UConn.

Who decides where they play these games? How does Gonzaga get two home games to start the tournament? Now they could possibly play two more home games because they host a regional. Yeah that's fair.:confused2:

They used to play at the highest seed in the pods home court. However, some of those schools couldn't support (ie. fill the stands) for the games, especially ones that didn't involve the home team. A few years ago they decided to change it up and make sure the games would be played at school sites where they could expect higher attendance. Not sure if they pick it out before the season or anything, as I'd think they would want to make sure that a home team was playing at some point.

And yes, I know entirely too much about women's b-ball. :L

I find it hard to believe UCLA couldn't sell out Pauley Pavillion for 4 tournament games.

True, but I think they try and spread it around and not have it at the same place every year. I don't know for sure though. Don't even know if Pauley has had it recently.

Washington State is the host school for the regional. I was shocked when they put them in the Spokane regional honestly. How could they not know what could happen?

I understand why DePaul had to go to Penn State because they don't have an on campus facility big enough. I don't understand why UCLA had to go to Spokane though.

And a funny Jeopardy moment for good measure.
