No, Olivet hasn't posted the roster yet. I'd look for it late Tuesday or Wednesday. The Comet Madness event is Tuesday night at 9pm and that is where the varsity roster gets announced. I'd expect it soon thereafter.

Breslin is much better in the lower bowl as all arenas, meaning all the green seats above the student section.  Student sections are optimal but a) students b) only big donors get the non-student seats across the benches.   Upper bowl you sometimes have to look through plexi glass in lower rows and higher up the sideline is sometimes not visible.  Traffic in some aisles can obstruct view as well and you're just generally further away from the action of course.  Last few rows are aluminum bench seats.

I try to avoid seats directly behind the basket in the lower bowl (green seats) because both the shot clock and basket can obstruct the view of play.  Otherwise pretty much anywhere in the lower bowl is a good seat.  I prefer the corners or directly across from benches (also closer to the parking exits). 

Big Ten schools barely give out any visiting tickets, Albion will be lucky to have received more than 50 and they'll be directly behind their bench in Section 111.


First time MSU's played a D3 since their MIAA days I think so this is all new territory, really no idea what the crowd will be like.  I only have Hope-Indiana to go by and attendance that day was about 9,000 in a similar size arena.  But Indiana wasn't pre-season #1.

Thank you!  This is very helpful.

Regarding the missing posts: There was a cleanup in the massively overpopulated Pick-ems board, and a bunch of expired contests were deleted. That lowered post totals for anyone who had posts on those boards.

The old "change the year" trick works for an Alma roster right now.  Only surprising one that's missing is Amari Hudson

I don't believe I ever participated in the pick-ems board.

I have no way of knowing but I looked through the moderation log for all changes made in the past two-plus months and didn't see anything else that was a deletion of posts.

So this was a pretty cool writeup:

Nice.  Who is Albion putting on Tillman?  I probably wouldn't want to sit in the lower bowl and watch for all those blocked shots coming at me.

Does anybody know what happened to the Beckman's? Neither Danny or Jenny are on the respective Hope rosters.

First half at MSU is over, I'm watching on BTN+. 40-25 MSU, though in the middle of the half Albion was within two. Davis is leading the Britons with 12, including a few impressive 3s (which I remember all too well from last year at MTI). Albion is in this thing to win it. They are playing the starters long minutes. I missed the specific starting lineup up, but Albion has been giving lots of minutes to Davis, Ebeling, and Armstrong. They have used Garland, Barnes and Mcabee quite a bit. Freshman Josh Palo from Howell has been in quite a bit too. I honesty can't remember anyone other than those 7 playing. Zac(h?) Winston pulled a hamstring in practice and didn't suit up. The student announcers at MSU have been calling Davis a 'human highlight reel' and have declared him a potential MIAA POY.

I'll let any of the 100 other sources describe the preseason #1s performance. Also I learned tonight that Rocket Watts' first name is Mark. I've only seen him listed as Rocket.

This is all very tiring, I'm sacked out.  Maybe you could just put my status back to "starter" and forget about who deleted my posts.  For as little as I post, it's hard to believe that I have more than double + & - Karma than I have posts.  That being said, I could give a rip about Karma, it just doesn't add up.  Good night, time to hit the Sac...k

You're currently showing up as a 'Starter' with 201 posts.

[Pat Coleman]

Yes -- I made the change.

Pat, could you give pick-em and fantasy leagues their own board, separate from the multi-regional topics board?
