Well its been a great run having the BIG XII WBB championships in good old Oklahoma City. I say this cause it sounds to me like they are moving it back to Kansas City. There are many reason for this and I for one am not surprised its moving back in 2020.
One reason I'm not surprised is the success of the men's tourney. The men's tourney has been a staple in KC and their BBQ for some time now. Also when they both were in KC you get to root on your team in the same city and it worked for many years in the past. But the the success of the Men's tourney is not the only reason they are taking it back to K C for the Big 12 Championships.
The one year I went when it was in Kansas City the area the girls played in was anything but appealing. And I'm not talking about the turnout either. The place looked used and looked like it needed a major facelift. In 2013 the facelift was made.The 5 million Dollar renovation to Municipal Auditorium is finished. It includes New Video Boards, LED scorer's table,sound system upgrades, lighting, electrical upgrades,and lower seating up grades.
With all these accommodation bein met and the Girls tourney moving back to Kansas City it only makes since. This is that the WBB and the MBB are BOTH to be played the Same weekend once again in 2020.
