I went to the C-USA Tournament in Memphis in 2000.  Just want to let fellow Bulls fans know that I went up there and had a great time despite a first-round loss to the home team Tigers.  It was a great game, and an even greater time.

So, if the Bulls do in fact go, and you're thinking about attending - you can't miss.  The people of the city were so kind and Beale Street offers a lot of opportunity for fun.

Really, I had a lot of fun.   And just to be able to take in an entire tournament is something else.

While I don't expect our Bulls to make a deep run in the tourney, it may be well worth your while to get up to Memphis and have a good time.

I attended the CUSA tourney in Louisville in 2003, and agree with Bulliever that it definitely worth attending.  I've also been to memphis, and it is a fun town.  Make sure to "git ya sum dry cue"...

Isn't Tunica just a hop, skip and a jump away ?

I went to Tunica on my Memphis trip and gambled until 6 a.m.   I don't remember how long the drive was, but it was not bad....The Grand Casino in Tunica was nice.  Basketball tournaments on all TVs, free beer and gambling.  Not a bad mix.  I actually walked away in the black that time.

40 miles?

Dam I wish I could go again.  It is all coming back to me now.  We saw the sunrise coming back from Tunica and still got to watch alot of basketball.  Stupid work.  I gotta find a job where we aren't busy in Feb & March.

Memphis is a great town.  Beale street is great, the peapody is great.   Graceland was a dissapointment though.

I was stationed in Millington when I was in the Navy.  Beale street was pretty scary back then.  We would go to Overton Square and Silky Sullivan's

remember this year in Memphis, the tournament is in the FedEx Forum, the new home to the NBA's Grizzlies and the NCAA's Tigers, and not the Pyramid.  from what I've heard the FedEx Forum is unbelieveably awesome
