Official NCAA TOURNAMENT THREAD

[dbackjon]

Who got left out, who shouldn't have made it, seeding, etc.

And of course, the games!

[Gil Dobie]

I'm waiting for the selection show. If NDSU is in Minneapolis, I'm on the ticket site ordering.

[dgreco]

looks like a lot of upsets could happen this year.

[grizzaholic]

Portland State actually got a decent shot at an upset. They drew Xavier.

[dgreco]

I really like Xavier. I think Cleveland St. has a nice shot and I think NDSU might have a small shot.

[Gil Dobie]

NDSU gets last years Champ, Kansas in Minneapolis. Got my tickets, 15 rows up in the endzone.

wanted to get tickets for the Miami games... Problem you have to buy the whole access page at about 280 dollars, for Balcony seats.

Is that through the NCAA? I got mine through the NCAA vis Minnesota Gophers. Single sessions were going for $100 on the online scalpers, so I purchased all 3 sessions for $193. Single sessions go on sale Thursday here, but who knows how many.

the tickets are through AAarena.com I am not sure of where else to get tickets. I am sure I can search some more.

Tournament committee sure liked the Big East....

I think they deserved it at the top.

Trying to figure out if it would be worth it to pay $193 for six games in the three Greensboro sessions on Thursday/Saturday with Duke and Carolina in the building. I've never been to a tournament game, and I'm sure it would be a good time and all, but for $193 it should come with the live look-ins on other games I get when I'm watching from the couch, and good luck finding someone willing to pay $193 to go with me.

[dbackjon]

It is fun to go to - went to the NAU game in 2000 in Tucson

[HI54UNI]

I don't know if the Bison can run with Kansas, but I told my dad during the selection show what a bad draw that was for the Jayhawks. North Dakota State will have more fan support in Minneapolis than Duke will in Greensboro.

I agree with you... we don't match up well with Kansas... mostly because they play a game a lot like we do... but they are bigger. Kansas is younger, but play a lot more high profile games... the 20,000 Bison fans that might be there is a question mark. I just dont know if it will be enough.

That is my problem, do I want to spend the money? And if I do who is going to go with me? I think I am better off getting the TV view and keeping the price to my TV bill. Especially since I am not a huge fan of any of the teams playing in Miami. I even wonder if it will sell out. Nothing sells out down here, even local teams who are doing well.

I looked at it as $63.00 per session or $31.50 per game. Single session tickets online were $100 and up, so I went with the $193 package and got great seats, 15 rows from the court, in the endzone.

One good way to get tickets is to buy them through one of the schools playing at the site that is far away and doesn't travel well. I bought tickets to see UNI in Milwaukee several years ago through Boston College.
