MADISON, Wis. – The WIAA Boys Basketball Tournament, normally held over a three-day span in Madison, won’t be for just the second time since 1920.

“It is an enormous impact,” said Jason Ilstrup, President of Downtown Madison Inc. “It’s a large part of the 304 million dollars a year spent by tourists in downtown Madison. It helps run our community, right?”

The two major breaks the Red Raiders had to take this season zapped them of any chance to play meaningful basketball at any kind of rhythm. There s only so much you can do in practice to mesh and get on the same page to the level needed to win at the top of the Big 12 conference. Texas Tech was also desperately missing Raider Riot and the fans of the United Supermarkets Arena being at full force. They sure sounded close to full force in the past two wins for Texas Tech.
