Yet both use options for larger arenas. Villanova only plays a great majority at the Pavillion when it is making sure Wells Fargo does not count as a home court, in order to go for a NCAA slot at Wells Fargo. They played three games there this last season for that reason, but it is usually more.

Saint Louis took a "capacity hit" as well when they moved back on-campus. ScottTrade is a huge basketball arena compared to Chaifetz.

I'm glad they did, quite frankly.
Big East Basketball is what it's always been. Great competition nightly.
If the Atlantic 10 didn't suck, why is everyone looking for the exits?
There is a reason why the A-10 left a team in the Central Time Zone...SLU, your move.

Scott Trade is kinda dumpy IMO, it was a good move for SLU.

It just never changed. What it is now is what it was then.
