Big XII WBB Tournament - Who’s Attending?

[OWLCITYCYFAN]

January and February were a bear this year, both weather-wise and work-related. We just finished launching a new work management system and I have time to breathe!

I’m giving serious consideration to attending the WBB tournament for the first time in years. I found all session tickets for $156, though I haven’t pulled the trigger. My wife has conflicts and my OSU alum work buddy is mulling it over.

In the interim, who’s going to KC? Where do you stay and where do ISU fans congregate? Do you attend all sessions or just ISU games? TIA

My wife and I are heading down Thursday and staying with a friend. Our plan is to attend all the games until ISU loses.

This will be our first time at the tournament since the men's and women's tournaments separated. Last time there were plenty of ISU fans in the power and lights district, but I don't know if it will be a ghost town for just the WBB tourny.

Unless you want to watch all the games I wouldn't buy the all-session ticket. Just by the Iowa State session when you get there. Will be plenty of seats available.

This. You should be able to buy ISU session tickets for $20 or less so unless you want the same seat each session or will go watch more games outside of ISU, its almost always better to buy separately.

The entire Power of the Pops crew and spouses…along with Geewago…will be there for the duration. Headed down Wednesday morning. Used to be that Quaffs was the place to congregate when it was at Muni. Quite often you’d find the coaching staff there from time to time as well. Last year with the tournaments split up, the whole area was just kind of dead as most people go to the men’s tournament instead of the women’s. The bars immediately around T-Mobile Arena are where you will find people.

We're also going, leaving Thursday. If anyone wants two tickets to the Wed. games let me know. Seats are in section 106, row 7.

Kelly's in Westport is the only bar in KC that matters.

Bring back having both the women and men tournaments at the same time.

If you’re good at hiding out, like in a broom closet or in the upper deck behind a black curtain, you could just by one GA ticket to the first game then spend the nights in the arena and get all the games for free. Might be worth the risk if you’re a little short on change.

Might be a little ripe by the time Sunday rolled around

Good contingent of KSU fans. They are looking tough leading 25-14 early 2nd.

My solution to everyone playing in the New T-Mobile (Sprint Center) would be the following.

Saturday - 3/7 - Women's First Round (4 Games)
Sunday - 3/8 - Men's First Round (4 Games) (If BYU has to play swap them for a women's game from Saturday)
Monday - 3/9 - Women's 2nd Round (4 Games)
Tuesday - 3/10 - Men's 2nd Round (4 Games)
Wednesday - 3/11 - Women's Quarterfinals (4 Games)
Thursday - 3/12 - Men's Quarter finals (4 Games)
Friday - 3/13 - Women's & Men's Semi Finals (4 Games)
Saturday - 3/14 - Women's & Men's Finals (2 Games)

Or you make the first round games Friday/Saturday weekend before and make Sunday an off day due to BYU's weird church rule, then all of the teams get rest days like the actual tournament. Or you make BYU forfeit if they can't play one game all season on Sunday since most of their players are no longer part of the church anyway.

You can take a full week of vacation and see non-stop high level Men's & Women's College Basketball as a joint showcase of the Big XII. It would be electric.
