The Advancements team does an outstanding job putting together great tournament weekends in conjunction with the NCAA.  For those that haven't gone in the past, each team is assigned a base hotel by the host and begins planning from there.  Typically the first thing to appear are the pre and post game receptions that are easily booked with one phone call.  But if history holds, some outstanding folks at MU (I won't mention any names so as not to embarrass folks) are working hard as I write to add to the enjoyment already listed, typically on the 'off day' between games.  If you have a chance to go, you will not be disappointed.

Don't know if this goes with the topic that well. I understand we're a 3 seed and as a normal fan you root for the underdog. Which I guess in some cases should be us based on the experts. But do you think if Louisville fans come back for the next session or butler fans would also cheer for marquette?

Anyone in the Oklahoma City area watching the game me and my wife are both taking off there is nothing on the MU connect site.  Someone told me one of the sports directors for the local news station is an MU grad but haven't heard anything.

Both schools fan base has lots in common with Marquette.  Unlike last year when all the Kentucky based schools stuck together at the KFC Yum and it felt like a road game against a sea of Kentucky blue, I'd expect some reasonable level of support from the Louisville fans on Saturday and the Butler fans to a certain extent on Thursday.
