Wrong again. I know people in at least four other regions who have been saying for years how unfair it is that Mason Co. gets to play the regional tournament on their home floor EVERY year.

 

Clark County enjoyed it last year. The team playing the best basketball, best their opponent in all parts of the game wins despite where the games are held.

Anybody that says playing on your home court is not an advantage is living in la la land. It does not guarantee you victory, but it does give you an advantage. Just because GRC won last year doesn't mean Mason didn't have a home court advantage. GRC simply outplayed them and was able to OVERCOME the home court advantage. Who's to say that if that game were played at GRC they might have won by double digits. Anybody in their right mind would prefer to play at home in their own gym.

Go build a bigger gym and then all of this would be solved:thumb:

I thought we have settled this...

The Best Team will win on that night...doesn't matter where the gym is or who's home floor it is...

That is absolutely correct and what I was trying to establish here.

La La Land??? Weather would be a lot warmer come march inside the fieldhouse then outside in Mt. Sterling.

Then you'll be happy in March 2009.....for March 2008 guess you'll just have to get there early.

I vote for an official name change of Montgomery's gym too....The Palace, it looks so grand standing high upon that hill, much like a palace would, or like The Palace at Auburn Hills it could be The Palace at Whirling Sterling!

Real mature post.

 

For your information, they wanted to build it bigger but the State of KY Dept. of Education wouldn't approve it. Something about having a half billion dollar state deficit and feeling like it would be a waste taxpayers' $$ to build a gym that would only be full once every four year, if that.

I like that idea.....that's acutally what I call it anyway. :thumb:

We might have to call it the "little Palace" though to please everyone.
