Spokane/Oklahoma City switch dates for 2010 tourney

     The NCAA announced it has switched dates for the Spokane and Oklahoma City first/second-round sites for the 2010 NCAA Tournament.  Spokane will become a Friday-Sunday site with games on March 19 and 21.  Oklahoma City will thus move to a Thursday-Saturday site with games on March 18 and 20.  Changes are reflected under Tourney Sites.

    There’s not much to this change; mostly logistics.  Since Spokane is now a Friday-Sunday site, it would mean that location would be unavailable to BYU if the Cougars were to make the NCAAs again.  Spokane would be their closest location, but BYU will not play on Sundays.  If any further news develops between now and Midnight Madness, we’ll keep you updated.

Team capsules arriving at Bracketville …

      A new page with team capsule information is coming soon to Bracketville.  It will primarily provide information about key wins and losses as the season progresses.  I may choose to add additional data once we get it up and running.  I track key wins and losses throughout the year as they are important to the NCAA Tournament selection and seeding process.  I’ll let you know when the new page is active.  It’s still in draft mode right now.

     Also, I’m trying a new design this year. It’s only two columns, but I think is a little cleaner and updated.  If you’ve visited before, let me know what you think.  I’m looking forward to another exciting year of college hoops and my Bracketville blog.   As always, send a rebound – Dave.
