In response to MoValley John's rant..
I see it both ways because I've done it both ways. 2007, the Jays were a two seed, so they had the 6pm game friday night. I literally risked my life driving from college in Wayne, NE to Omaha, because of a huge blizzard, then got down to St Louis pretty much right at tip.After the Jays won Friday we bought tickets for the next day, and did the same on sat when they made the finals. If they didn't win we probably wouldn't have bought tickets.
In 2009, me and a couple college buddies, one of them a big Illinois st fan, went the all-session route and bought tickets in UNI's section. (We wanted to be in a neutral team's section and I thought UNI would be out thursday night when we bought before conference play began... silly me) We went to every game except for the second afternoon game on friday.
I love college basketball, including the MVC. I usually watch most MVC games that are on tv, whether the Jays are playing or not, but attending 8 games in 4 days is a little much, esp 4 games alone on Friday. And if I'm down starting Thursday that means a solid 3 nights of drinking, so if the Jays aren't in the final, I'm going to get an early start on that 7-8 hour drive home on Sunday.
Just giving my 2 cents on the issue..
