SPOKANE--The Cougar's success in the NCAA tournament has meant booming business for sports bars like Waddell's on the South Hill.

Sean Clements, manager at The Swinging Doors says business at his bar is good during the NCAA tourney

Michael Noble, owner of Waddell's said NCAA game night means twice the profits for his business.

"We double, pack this place, sales are great and it's a great experience when everyone is having a good time."

Noble said he has to schedule extra staff to keep up with the increased demands for food and beer for fans on game nights.

Sean Clements, manager at The Swinging Doors said he's prepared for Thursday night's big game because the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament were a good test for how busy staff will be.

Both Noble and Clements will be rooting for the Cougars on Thursday because every win in the tournament means another big night for business.
