I forgot to list Bankers Life for the NCAA
I absolutely loved that arena and that town. I left there hoping the MVC would consider Indianapolis as a future conference tournament location.
I've been to that dump in Lawrence, Kansas.
I couldn't figure out if it was history I was smelling or mold.
What a dump.

Different is putting it nicely. Basketball should not be played in football stadiums.
Allowing that many Looserville fans to accumulate in one place without police in riot gear wasn't too smart either.

All hat and no cattle.
