MBB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[David Collinge]

I have practically no interest in individual player awards (except for Academic All-American), but I find it hard to believe that Dane Borchers' name has not come up in the POY discussions.  If I were forced to choose a POY, I think I'd give him serious consideration, along with Miller and Russ (but probably not Cooper, Port, Hodgkinson, et alia.)

You've got a lot of nerve asking that question after the last game that Wooster played down there.

Why don't you call Wittenberg's athletic department?  I'll bet you'll find out that Wooster sent down a fair share of tickets.

Fairly certain there will be tickets available at the door.

Last year, the semifinal crowds weren't all that awe inspiring......I seem to remember tickets going on sale right after the game on Friday night for the championship

$8  ? ? ?  wow

MIAA tickets are $5

[woosterbooster]

Regular season games at Wooster are $5 now.  Not too many years ago they were only $3.  I'd guess that the tournament game prices for the semis and finals are set by the NCAC, but I don't know for sure.

That's why Wabash is the best bargain in the NCAC, possibly the NCAA, for hoops!  8)

Woosters Ticket prices have to jump just like tuition for next year !

Both seem way to high as is...
but I guess 8$ to see a game between some of the top schools in the NCAC, not THAT bad... Unless I can find a way to Distract the ticket takers with some Hot girls...
Hmmmm........

[pennstghs]

wooster booster i was waiting to see if you'd mention that. i already have inquired to garnett purnell and the athletic department about that very fact. 8 dollars a ticket is well worth the quality of basketball we'll be seeing and compared to many d1 schools, 8 dollars is an absolute bargain

[zosobob]

Ticket prices are indeed set by the NCAC.

There should be tics still available before Tip-Off.

And yes, you can purchase tickets for the championship game Fri night.

But, at 8 bucks per ticket and only one game, i don't think too many wooster residents are going to buy tickets for Sat night, unless wooster is playing.

That might turn around a bite the NCAC, if it's an OWU/Witt vs. Earlham match-up.

You're right Smed, as i've never paid to see a game at Crawfordsville. Football or Basketball.

Post season would be different though.

Come tourny time, the ticket prices are set by the NCAC or NCAA, depending on which tourny you are going to.  During regular season prices are set by the school.  I remember Wooster students used to, I'm guessing they still do, get into games free.  But come tourny, they are, technically, supposed to pay since it is in the conference's hands.

For all those interested in NOT making the drive to woo for the games, according to the Wooster web page:

The North Coast Athletic Conference, in conjunction with Clear Picture, Inc. and TeamLine, will be providing a broadcast of live video and audio free of charge for both semifinals and the championship game of the 2006 NCAC Tournament. (Users of this service must have a high-speed Internet connection and Windows Media Player).

I tried pasting the link here, but could not get it to work.  However, you can find the link here:

Or at the Wooster basketball page.

Anyone travelling to Wooster- I made some maps in pdf format showing the location of some of the hotels bars mentioned earlier etc.  If you want a copy send me an email at blindwatchmaker7@yahoo.com

I'll try and get them out by late afternoon.
