Had you rather see 11 teams or 8 teams in the SBC basketball tournament?

None of the above.

I'd rather have six, give the two division winners a bye and let in the next best four teams.

But the Sun Belt presidents and AD's seem convinced that everyone should have a chance so the next best thing would be...

Send the east division teams to the regular season champ and the west division teams to the west division champ and then send the two survivors from each to a neutral site for the Sun Belt Final Four.

All comers isn't going to cut it as long as the men and women are playing the same site at the same time. Too much of a lag between game 1 and game 2 for first round winners in most cases. At least with that you would have hopefully good attendance as you weed out the 9 pretenders (assuming we do end up at 13) and you give a reward to the division winners (ie hosting the early rounds).

Hey, I'm on your side. I would rather do away with the tournament altogether, have no divisions, and let the regular season champ go to the tournament, just like the Ivy League, but I doubt there is little support for that. But cutting back the tournament at all helps make the regular season much more meaningful.

Doesn't matter to me. Cajuns will always be in it and have a shot at winning it. But I voted for 8. Makes the brackets easier.
