I'll be interested to see what the atmosphere is like on Tuesday night with two championship games. It was somewhat dead for Saturday, but I dont know how you can expect it to be otherwise. But I would say that if the matchups happen Tuesday that everyone thinks that will (and one is already set with Boone-Holmes), it should be a lot better.
From just facilities wise, EKU has a solid OVC-level arena that seats 6500 or so, built in the 60s. It serves them well, and when I went to school there in the late 80s, and watched the Colonels play teams like WKU, Morehead, and a game against Auburn in 86-87, they filled the arena to capacity the atmosphere was very exciting.
The BOKC is a state of the art facility that was built in 2008 and seats 9400. Now, tell me which one is going to be nicer or better?
