Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:15 pmCan't see the rest of CUSA digging that location.

The tournaments never should have been separated in the first place.

Have you been to the tournament in Memphis? I have gone the past two years and had a blast.....well, except for the little problem of us being one and done.

Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:31 pmThe best time I ever had a conference tourney was during the WAC days in Vegas. Great basketball - obviously, great city too. El Paso definitely isn't a Vegas but I do like the idea of combining the two events.
