cheeseman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 1. How does the NCAA decide who plays in the first round - this year we had 16, 13, 1nd 11 seeds playing? 2. If you went to Chafiez today how was the turnout and how good was the viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Pelican Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I can answer #2. The viewing wasn't the greatest but you could follow the game. It was hard to read the graphics but the only one that mattered was the clock since they kept score on the scoreboard part of the video board. The A-10 trophy was on display for viewing and photo ops. At halftime they brought out basketballs and anyone who wanted to could shoot on the floor or the practice court to the side. The Billiken was there and they had mini balls and t shirts to throw to the crowd. A lot of kids there. They lowered the two southern boards (they were all "on" though) and everyone sat on the north side of the arena. I'd say several hundred people there but I'm not very good at guessing that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Pelican Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Also Rene Knott was there before the game and a channel 5 cameraman was there throughout the game. When the game ended, they ran an S A - I N T L O- U I S cheer and then played Neil Diamond's version of Sweet Caroline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliKat Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Ha! Channel 5 ran a quick piece on the news and made it sound like it was packed.. 'It was almost like being there in the crowd at chaifetz!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could've given them one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billslasttermdropout Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's on mine. I want yours, too. How do you get the other one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise_89 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Here is a question...Michigan and Michigan State are playing in Detroit, so why are the Billikens, in the Midwest bracket, playing in San Jose? I guess everyone (NCAA) wants to see Big10 teams make it far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
