While there were reasons for the league to choose a more neutral location, there are understandable reasons why they have continued to have it at the Palestra. I was hoping that the league would have found a way to eliminate the four back-to-back games. The people working the games appeared to hit a wall during the Harvard-Yale men's game and were going on fumes by the Harvard-Princeton women's game. When surveyed, I had suggested a Friday night double-header with the #1 vs #4 women in the first game, followed by the #1 vs #4 men. Then, the two #2 vs #3 games could be played on Saturday with the two finals set for Sunday. This way, the #1 seeds could have gotten an extra day of rest and the staffs would have been more energized for the individual days. Since the games will again be broadcast by ESPN, it is possible that there was little chance to change the schedule (and, possibly, the venue).
