#4 or #5 Seed?

[Dwayne From Minden]

Any idea of what is keeping us from getting a bid for a first-second round host? Is it the same reason as what is keeping us from getting BCS schools from playing in JAS?

Ruston no longer meets the mandated requirements necessary to host -

Like Champ said - the CenturyTel Center in Bossier is there for the taking - if we wanted to bid $$$,$$$ -

We need to get the tournament somewhere close to home. I still remember the 1st year we have 1st-2nd round in the TAC. It was the Lady Techsters, Penn State, Ohio State, and somebody else. That was some of the best women's b-ball I have seen and that girl form Penn State could play some ball, but of course the Lady Techsters sent everybody home with losses. I think that was the year we went to the Elite 8 also.

The greatest NCAA WBB ever in the TAC was the 1984 regional semifinals and finals...
Texas 99 NLU 91
Tech 92 LSU 67
Tech 85 Texas 60

I think hotel rooms hurt our chances. There is no reason on earth, though, that we should not be trying to get the bid using the CenturyTel Center in Bossier. We could go in together with ULM and Northwestern, if we needed to do that. I know that Texas Tech and Texas went in together last year for the Dallas site.

I heard that ruston was getting a couple of new hotels. Not saying that it would sway us hosting, but just wanted to bring it up.

Yes, a new hotel going in by the Holiday Inn Express, a Sleep Inn going in across the road from the BP gas station, and some developers are looking at land to possibly build more.
