I am working in Ashland, OH this week and would like to see some tournament action.  I live in Georgia, so I am not familiar with many of the colleges and universities in NE Ohio.  Is any school within an hour drive hosting first round games?  If so, could you please let me know.  If there is more than one site, who would you recommend that I go see?

Thanks!

John Carroll, in the Cleveland suburbs, is by far your closest option. Marietta is a little further (and will sell out).

According to Google Maps, it's an hour and 17 minutes from Ashland to University Heights (the Cleveland suburb where John Carroll is located) via I-71 and I-271.

Good Grief... I'm normally the last person in the world to steer someone away from D3... BUT.. Gulp, I hate to suggest...


Ashland University is hosting the GLIAC men's and women's semis on Saturday and Sunday... the GLIAC is one of the top D2 conferences in the country... this could be an opportunity to be within minutes of seeing some very good college hoops.. and it's NOT D1.... 
The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!

  According to Mapquest, it's 1:13 hours(66 mi) from Ashland, Oh to Delaware,Oh(Ohio Wesleyan) to see All-American Brendan Boken(he's worth it) and Scranton vs Lynchburg and Pitt-Greensburg and Ohio Wesleyan.

Both JCU and OWU play in bandboxes, both funky in their own ways. I'd guess both gyms will be close to empty for the first game Friday, and sold out for the second, although there might be some wiggle room at OWU.

There have been some major upsets in the GLIAC Tournament with the #1 seeded Saginaw Valley St, #3 seeded Findley, and 4th seeded Lake Superior State going down to defeat.

The remaining semi-finals are   #2 Ashland vs #6 Ferris State  #8 Walsh vs #5 Hillsdale

If you want a D3 connection the Hillsdale coach John Tharpe was the coach at Lawrence.

What is this - the D2 Board?  I was looking for the D1 Board! McHuge(h)!
Oh Mann, Coleman has been gone what 3-4 days?  What other boards will be created?

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and suggestions.  Looks like I will be heading up to John Carroll.  I will have my iphone fully charged so I can watch LaGrange College play online while watching the first game at JC.

Be sure to bring your sunglasses and lead-lined blast suit, as the D3 Championship BeltTM will be in the house.
