So a couple hundred CU fans will be separated from the rest of the group? Why can't they just continue CU into all of section 117 and make 115 the corporate seats? Stupid. I will be pissed if I'm in 109 or up above on that side.

Why is it that the teams who sell the fewest tickets get the best seats? Would I be better off next year buying through Indiana State or Evansville?

Actually, each school gets the same amount of court side seats. The problem is, that for some schools that is all they sell.

Are we looking at the same map? Illinois State sold the third most and we don't have any good seats and SIU's are worse yet. Why they can't just go by section makes no sense to me. Give ISU 115, SIU 114, Bradley 104, Drake 102.

Yes, we are looking at the same map. I just see it logically. There are 10 different equal sections that I consider court side and each school has one of them.......seems fair to me. Being a Creighton fan, I am sure I will be in the end zone but I understand that each school should get an equal number of "good" seats.

You must be color blind. Show me where Illinois State has any court side seats? In every section we are behind UNI so it's impossible. In fact only 4 of the 10 schools have any court side seats at all.

The do the seating on a rotation, so that every school will get courtside seating once every couple years I believe.

It almost looks to me as if they gave priority (closest to the court) based on the MVC standings at the time the chart was made.

It would explain why there is a "stacked" section that goes UE, UNI, ISU-R and SIU, and another with ISU-B, then MSU. And you have BU and DU behind WSU and CU.

So the top 4 teams - WSU-CU-ISUB-UE - get courtside. Next two (UNI, MSU at the time) are next closest, and so on.
