I still think a road stinker or two is in the cards. If we can split the 4 games with VCU and Dayton, probably 12 or 13. 3-1 makes a 1 seed possible. 14-4 may get us there. Gotta exercise those road demons @ Davidson and Richmond. So glad McKillop is gone. Friday's game will make things very clear. We win that, I'm going with 15-3, lose, I'm going with 12-6.

Crewsorlose Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Meh, Richmond hasn't played any of the Big 3 and is 1-2 on the road. I can't see them getting past 11 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have SLU going 4-1 in the next 5. The toughest games are VCU and @ Davidson. They have 5 days prep for Davidson and it's on national TV so I hope they bring their A game.

Cowboy II Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 -I looked at tickets for VCU and there are 12 sections with over 100 tickets and 1,110 tickets in other sections -there are a bunch of $50 upper level center and $20 upper level ends available -win Friday and let's see what happens to these numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of season tickets in my opinion is very reasonable. The cost of individual game tickets are way too high. Get butts in the seats and let them spend their money on concessions and maybe you hook them on games going forward. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Davidson and we should see a good crowd.... beat Davidson AND Fordham we should see a great crowd. My guess, we finally beat the BELK curse, look great while doing it too, drop 55 points in a Loss to Fordham next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldm Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 My experience as a season ticket holder is that if I call the Billiken ticket office the tickets are less expensive than if you try to buy them online thru ticketmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are playing well though and momentum is a huge thing in CBB. Coming home to protect Fetz against VCU sitting at 8-1 in the conference would be a big deal for national spotlight and what remains of our at-large chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with 4 kids, 3 of which are under 5, not a chance I’d make it to even half of the home games. I could buy cheap season tickets and just eat the tickets to the games I don’t attend (probably making one or two futile attempts to give them away first) but it’s still throwing money down the drain and then for the games I can attend, I’d be stuck with crappy seats. No there aren’t really Any bad seats in the house but I’d prefer to be closer to the action when attending. Curious how many people are in the same boat I’m in. Probably not enough to make a difference in the game day atmosphere lol. Long story long, I too would like cheaper individual game tickets.

Interview was with former UMass coach Matt McCall. "SLU fouls too much and gives up too many three's." Can't argue with that. Interesting comments on Davidson at the end. "Great environments at SLU, VCU and Dayton. 4 point advantage." St B and Richmond in McCall's 2nd tier. St. B got screwed at RI with a bad call. Duquesne has only one game left with a Tier A team (SLU) so look out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a promotion at the beginning of the year to get a season ticket for $99. Granted, it wouldn't have been in the same spot as my 2, but I strongly considered it to be able to bring my son to games when he didn't have practice or school early the next morning.

My kids' YOBs are '12, '15, and '17. If you carry a kid in, they don't charge you. We're in Section 210. $300 total for 3 season tickets. Very much worth it. We go to about 70% of home games.

Obviously makes a difference if you’re toting those kids with you, but if not, is it difficult to buy cheap tickets and then find empty seats in the lower bowl?

We try to make it to every game we can as a family and if not I will take 1 of my boys and some of their friends. If I can't use them I usually donate them to my kids school or try to give them away. 108 is more than I would like to spend given our schedule but have been there since the Fetz opened and now can't leave. The one disclaimer is that I was given a fairly good scholarship so I tell my wife this is how I can pay some back. JMM28 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
