In response to palestra38
I don't know where the tournament will be next year. I like Bridgeport's arena, but I'm not sure that's the best town to hang around in (to put it nicely).
I just sense that there's building momentum against The Palestra - enough so, that they might be forced to try another option. I think the fairness issue extends beyond the simple 4-seed getting a home game argument.
I'm pretty solidly in the anti-tourney camp now, until the committee sheds the anti-mid bias (hopefully those modern metrics are coming soon). The math just doesn't work without the possibility of a second bid, and if Illinois State couldn't get one this year with a +1.5 WAB... I mean, it's gonna take some doing to get one of our teams there.
