Thanks. I was watching y'all and Louisville on TV at MSG the other night and wishing that we were already in the Big East with y'all. We have lots of good memories of C-USA tourneys in Cincy and L'ville.
They are plenty of hotel options in Nashville. If you don't want to stay downtown then try by the airport or south in Brentwood/Franklin area called Cool Springs. From both areas its only a 10 to 15 min drive to downtown, and most likely will be cheaper.
Franklin is one of my favorite towns in the country. There was a fabulous (more like horrific) civil war battle there that very few know about. On November 30, 1864 there was a bigger open field frontal charge than the famous Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. Any of yo who stay their try to visit the Carter House.
