anyone else think the games look terrible in football stadiums? it looks awful in the memphis/mizzu game.

Agreed.  I was talking with my roommates about this.  The Nova game looked so much better being played in the Garden.  I can understand playing in a large venue for the Final Four, but the earlier rounds just don't look that good in non-basketball arenas.  Of course those Mizzou unis didn't help anything.

Can't be worse than the weird lighting in Boise.

I was told that next year (in Indianapolis) the court will be centered and not partitioned off like it was in Glendale, or for all 'Cuse home games..

it might have looked better with a bigger crowd had some teams actually been from the West.  Mizzou was the closest team of the 4 (hell the #1 seed was UConn, can't get much father than that).  had UCLA been there, the showing would have been much better.

how the metrodome looks will be intresting with Michigan St being so close and Louisville/Kansas being a longer, but makable drive.
