Shorts and a tee shirt to the fetz tonight!

Not putting any carts before horses here, but if we win and BYU loses do we get another home game?

I believe so since we'd be the de facto higher seed. Of course I don't know as much about the NIT

Yes, higher seeds get home in every round

Bonaventure fans still trying to drag that nonsense DC story along.

Probably would be a good to go private / delete his social media accounts for a while.

The only story I remember from DC is Kyle Lofton missing two free throws.

Anything else is about as relevant as The Billikens bus being stolen by a drunken Bonnie bus driver.

Is there even any actual evidence he said anything to anyone?

Not that I can find/saw

If anything, the videos sorta back up Nesbitt.  Shows he was never really close to the cheerleader's.  I stand by what I said earlier that if Nesbitt did shout things, it wasn't towards a cheerleader individually, but more likely would have been to the whole squad + Students.

Evidence?

Who needs evidence when you have a social media mob acting as Judge jury and executioner.

Oh well.

Game on tonight. I hope he has a big game and the Bills put on a snow.

I just bought tickets last night. Looks like the Chaifetz may be pretty empty tonight (with the number of open seats available last night). 

Hope I'm wrong...

I feel like this might be a combination of 

1. It's gorgeous outside today and folks probably don't want to be inside even for the Bills and will watch at their favorite bar.

2. This was likely a quick turnaround for more casual fans who may not have even known this game was happening until Monday as with all non-NCAA tournament postseason games.

 

E: Bars with patios and TVs on said patios.

Xavier's arena looked pretty empty after the first few rows last night. 

[Taj79]

I flipped around last night ..... Dayton Arena was relatively empty; Colordao was relatively empty; even Siegel was empty in both end zones and they "always" sell out; ditto Oklahoma; and Vandy's sightlines make it hard to really tell.  ESPN lists tickets tonight at Chaifetz starting at $34.  Seems steep.  What are they charging you guys with seats from SLU?  

In DC, we bought tickets with the SLU Ticket Manager.  Thursday's were $40 each.  Friday iot went to $55 each.  And Saturday was $60 each.  At least we got two games Saturday ---- wasn't going to forsake free drinks and food to go watch Fordham play Mason or Fordham play Davidson.  Did however hang around for Dayton and Richmond.  Got back to da'couch in Gettysburg for Sunday's final.

[billiken_roy]

my schedule is such it is rare when i have an evening 2 days in advance where my wife or i can accept an invite to anything on that short of notice.   so my seats will be open tonight.   

[Taj79]

Toledo opens as a !.5 point favorite against #1 Dayton.  Anybody know Malachi Smith's status for tonight?

[Taj79]

A source in Dayton tells me Smith is out tonight.  Dayton with no point guard.

[juniorbill76]

Tix on the Chaifetz Ticktmaster site (linked from slubillikens.com) appear to start at $30 a pair. Some front row seats available for $200 a pair.

[BilliKat]

My dad is looking for seats- found the best deal to be 30$ anyone see anything better?

[RUBillsFan]

Cheapest tickets are $15.  That's the only price I've seen:

 

[Schasz]

Wonder what attendance will be at Chaifetz tonight? Watched Buzz Williams emotional press conference after A&M's NIT win last night. He is still extremely upset with the Selection Committee for the Big Dance. He had down some analysis that he passed out to those attending the presser.

I was just wondering this..

[Cowboy II]

-I don't know if NIT sets the ticket price, but if it is SLU my thought is $15 for the cheapest is too much, but I have what seems a perpetual  issue with how tickets are priced for our games

-get butts in the seats
