Completely depends on the game time. Can not get any work done while MU is playing, so might as well either take a 2 hour lunch if game is early or leave work early if game is late afternoon. If game is at night, then there's no conflicts.
Vegas, baby
My yearly 2-day sabattical, that just happens to fall on this Thurs/Friday every year.
I will be focusing on strictly basketball both days.
the 17th is also St Pattys day so I will be having a very enjoyable college basketball viewing.
Praying this is our Sweet 16 year, but please basketball gods if we are going to lose another heartbreaker....let it be thursday :)
I will be taking my annual extended weekend and heading out to Krueger's in Menomonee Falls for 4 long days of college hoops.
Hey...maybe JPT will be there to root for (MU/UW/UNC)!
Thursday will be spent at Halladay's watching basketball and enjoying awesome Irish Stew and basketball and hoping friday involves a trip to the united center to watch buzz and the gang
Hopefully at the UC because I had enough priority points to garner a ticket or two through the AD.
As a student it is much easier to skip and get any quizzes/exams done a couple days early. It will be much tougher of a situation in three years when I have an actual job as a conflict.
I'll be in my room (or at a sports bar) with multiple tv's
Fighting fire, saving lives, hoping the citizenry takes the appropriate time off so that I can watch the game in peace. (3/17) Telling my 4 year old to go play in his room, daddy is busy. (3/18)

Ditto, going to vegas and hoping there will be more cheering for Marquette with us
Going to Benny's Bar.
Tampa this year. 6 live games in 4 days is something everyone should try at least once. It's awesome.
vegas for the second round
I'm in B-school right now and it just so happens that my because of early finals I have the first weekend off (woo Vegas baby!) and the second week (spring break). That's 60+ hours of championship basketball with no commitments or distractions.
Spring break down south. Hoping for a Charlotte placement for MU!
Hell if they are playing in Chicago I'll be there.

I'm hoping for Cleveland.
For those going to Vegas, you guys watching in a sportsbook or a bar? We'll probably be on the strip somewhere, staying at Ballys
Watching Thursdays games with friends and then heading to the UC for the Friday/Sunday games.
Vegas.
cough cough...not feeling well...cough cough...can't make it in.
I'll be in Vegas as well. Sounds like a solid MU turnout there. Maybe we should try to put something together?
I'll be thankful that I have a cable connection in my office so that I can watch the game if it's on during business hours!
MUWarrior11:
There is an alumni club out there. We meet at Scooters Pub www.scooterspubinc.com (http://www.scooterspubinc.com) and will be there for the MU game.
It is about 5 miles offstrip and will have Beer, Bloody Mary and Appetizer specials. Get about 15-20 people there for most games.
Vasectomy, beer and pizza

I will be in Vegas Weds-Sun. Warriors better be in the field as it just wouldn't feel right watching the games in Vegas if MU isn't in the dance. Would love to watch the game with other Warriors fans.

Haha...I timed that for rounds 1-2 of the tourney one year--it was awesome. Make sure to milk it for the full 4 days with the wife. Mine was a great waitress.
