I found this pic of the Cox Convention Center with the brackets for the tournament displayed on the wall. I wonder if they will be updated every day???

MPS, they had a story in the DMN this morning quoting the Mayor as saying they think the women's tourney will be the most successful and they have felt all along the women's tourney would be the key to getting into the rotation because the men's tourney always sells out anyway.

They have a lot of activities going on and many in the Cox Center. They also have 300 volunteers serving both the men and women's teams and tourney.

How are they putting the brackets on the building?

They did this for the NCAA Wrestling Championships last year and updated team totals after each round.

You can see in that picture they've rented a cherry picker for just such a purpose.

That huge banner depicting the bracket really is cool. They must have known that SWOK and I would be at the tourney, since they put Caton Hill on it. She graduated a few years ago, and was an all-time favorite Sooner. But it's odd that they'd pick a past player for the banner.

There's another huge banner showing all the Big 12 coaches. Very neat to see that.

I saw something in the Big XII's site that has a photo of Caton Hill on it. I need to walk OUTSIDE around the arena; I read about some things they have in the paper but parked underneath and only went outside on one side headed towards Bricktown.

It wouldn't surprise me if the NCAA has rules restricting current players from having their images on such things.

I think you're right about the NCAA restricting the pictures of current players. The OU Football team is the subject of a calendar every year and it never has pictures of current players, only of players who have finished their eligibility.
