Questions that probably only bother me

One - Why didn't they have extra Oakland and Delaware State tourney shirts at the souvenir stand? Didn't they know that people like me would be looking for one?

Two - Why is is that I only saw one souvenir stand while walking halfway around the arena? Didn't they know that people like me would be desparately looking for shirts today?

Three - I've seen several Illinois fans here today. After patiently explaining to them that the Illini were in Indy, not here, they responded that they'd bought tickes to Charlotte a long time ago, hoping to guess where Illinois would end up.

Why Charlotte? Because - wait for it - it was the easiest early-round site to buy tickets. How is this possible? Isn't this state supposed to be the central location for March Madness? With UNC always a likely candidate to end up in Charlotte, why wouldn't this site have been sold out months ago?

Anyone have any answers for me?

Gotta go, State's got something going right now.
