Where do you usually stand when you get those? I've come close a few times but never pulled the trigger because it is just an unknown to me. Always end up over spending on StubHub.

I typically try to stand around midcourt at the top of the lower bowl on the bench side of the court...I try to get to my spot about 15 min before tip and usually have no issues...usually...

Thanks, Sultan. I feel like even if this was for the Nova game, the prospects of them releasing SRO tix for NMD are quite high. I'll try to pay attention to their twitter account.

I did that for a few Bucks games and it's not a bad way to watch the game. But depending on the section, you may get an usher on a power trip, especially for a Saturday night game. One threatened to throw a guy out near us because he brushed up against the barrier belt.

He's obviously quite religious. This time falling to his knees in prayer, and in a previous game-mimicking what he believed was a missed goal tend by the refs-stretched his arms towards heaven, perhaps asking for divine intercession, or maybe just asking God to smite the ref.
Sounds like Ol' Danny boy started sniffing his own farts a little too much.

Got my ticket! LFG!
UConn board seems to think their best player, McNeeley, will be out a few more weeks. Not so sure. I wouldn't be surprised to see him tomorrow. Also their starting PG Hassan Diarra is hobbled, and their backup PG was out against DePaul.
Hopefully we can come out of the gates strong for once and hold a lead.
Last year in Milwaukee we lead 12-5 about 7 minutes in. Then in MSG, UConn didn't score their 1st points until almost 7 minutes in and they still managed to pull away in both games. Be ready from the jump tomorrow!
Just remember both the Milwaukee and MSG games were without Tyler.

Yup. And the game at MSG came a day after Providence beat the hell out of us. Stevie and Oso were definitely banged up, with Stevie coming out with a giant sling on his shoulder and Shaka pulling Oso for the last 7 minutes when it was pretty clear there wasn't much of a chance at a real run to win the game.

I think the last Saturday Night game I was at was UCLA when they flight issue caused a change in tip time. That was a brutal result. If it happens again I might just blame the Saturday Night games.

"If there's an advantage for UConn, it's in the frontcourt.

If you could also haunt Hurley a little during the game, that would be great. Thanks.
My "go to" college roomie dropped his tix on me this morning. He can't make it unfortunately, so I'll have to sit in his seats behind the bench tonight. >:(
I told him this might be the one time I'd prefer to sit behind the opponent's bench. I'll be there in GOLD!LFG!
Karaban is 3-for-21 from 3 the last four games (2 losses, an OT win over Butler and a fairly close win over DePaul), and 1-for-12 the last two games.
Also, while McNeeley obviously makes UConn a better team, hearing the guys on Field of 68 practically make it sound like he's a modern-day Larry Bird cracked me up. He's averaging 13.6 points on 43% shooting; UConn went 0-for-Maui with him; and they also barely beat Butler and Xavier with him. It's not as if they were steamrolling every opponent when he was in the lineup.
Having said all that ... Karaban will probably make a half-dozen 3s and McNeeley will return to score 20 tonight!

I don't see a path to victory if he plays
Let's Goo . . . Marquette!
Sitting right behind UConn fans. Tough start for our section.
Wow this sucks
Have to work for our open shots. Too many crazy shots.... UConn is all over us .... Lots of mistakes too. We will clean this up. Need to star now. Let's ago Marquette!
UCONN 78% MU 21% fg.
11 points in 12 minutes. This can't keep happening. Time for the mean to start.... Now!
National Marquette Day does tend to lead to shitty performances. Bench has been brutal tonight and the starters haven't been much better. As for PGs, I was more comfortable when Tony Miller shot FTs than I am when Kam does. Pressing with the underclassmen in the game was a big mistake.
Won the TO battle 21-8. Had over 32 deflections. Lost in a game that never felt close inside the arena.

One big problem tonight.
5 Assists. We will never, ever beat a good team with 5 assists. I like the Kam that passes a lot more than the Kam that dribbles.
