HoopsCoach Posted November 12, 2023 Posted November 12, 2023 As I said in my regional sites post, I am an advocate of neutral sites to host tournament games after the sectional round, and I think the facilities in Indiana are capable of a format with neutral site hosts for regional and semi-state. Here are my hypothetical neutral site semi-states for this year. This time I am presenting two options. The first is single games played on Friday night. The second features two games played at one site on Saturday afternoon/evening. All games in both options would be at locations with turf fields. This will reduce travel times for the majority of the games and remove field conditions as a variable. Just like the regionals, it gives host schools an opportunity to showcase the investment they have made in their facilities. Which format do you prefer?
