Hello,

Visiting from the SCIAC Men's board.  I am living in St. Louis now and will be going to the games Friday/Saturday at Wash U.  Any idea if tickets go on sale before the 3:45pm Friday time posted on the wustl website?

My job has me at GWB from 2-4, so hopefully I can just walk over from there, right?  Or, will parking be more open by the AC?

I graduated in '04, but my guess to your first question is no.  And I would just walk from GWB...the parking lot at the AC is crowded, plus I think you need some permit to park there, which if you don't have, can get your car a nice ticket

Thanks for the tip.  I have gotten quite a few tickets at Wash U, though I don't think they chase cars that are not registered.  I could be wrong.  But, I will walk from GWB. 

Also, what's capacity, should I be worried about ticket availability?

I told my wife about the discussion ongoing regarding the all-time wustl lady bears team. She said the best point guard she ever played with (she did not play competatively with her, as she graduated the year before my wife arrived, but they played a lot of 'pick-up') was Sarah Goldman, at least I think that was her name. Was the PG of the 1994 Final Four team.

If the first game is @5PM on Friday, I would assume tix MUST go on sale at 3:45. Some people like to arrive a tad bit early.

Thanks for all the tips re: tickets.  Yes, the website says tickets go on sale at 3:45pm, I was just wondering if there would be a pre-sale during the week. 

The way they do it at Oxy (well, not much precedent since we've only been in '03 and now '06) is that they sell tickets on-campus throughout the week of the game.  I live 5 mins from the Wash U campus and would have liked to buy tickets earlier so that I don't have to rush/leave my meeting early on Friday afternoon.

Thanks.  I'll be watching Friday.

My wife may have gone to wustl, but I went to Linfield. Maybe we can talk some Oxy football at the game- Collins is back, isn't he?
One more day until the game- Pat predicts a lady bear march to the finals!

[OxyFan21]

From everything I hear, Collins will be back.

While the subject of guards for the all-time WashU team is still being kicked around, I might vote for someone not yet mentioned: Sue Tucker. She played on three of the NCAA D3 championship teams, and was IMHO a bigger part of their success than she seemed to be given credit for. She was not particularly flashy, and didn't score much (or need to) with Fischer around. But Tucker was tough as nails, took care of the ball, and had a really, really high "basketball IQ", even among point guards. The 2 guard could be debated as well, but I'd vote for Amy Schweitzer. It's hard argue with Fischer, Rodgers and Manning to round out the team.

Just wanted to give identifying details for anybody who wants to speak at the Manchester game.  I'll be sitting behind the only basket you can sit behind (provide there is actually seating available there as there is most regular season games, wearing a bright red shirt and sitting next to my dad who has graying hair that is still surprisingly dark.

If you can't make it up to Maine to see Brandeis play this weekend, WBRS will be there to bring you all the action live on 100.1 FM in Waltham or www.wbrs.org (we expanded the amount of listeners online...sorry for anyone who was shut out the last two weekends)

Tonight tipoff at 5 PM
And, if Brandeis wins, we'll be there again on Saturday for the game at 5 PM

[jagluski]

UAA goes 3-1.

Tomorrow
Wash U v. Carroll College
Brandeis at Bowdoin
Rochester v. Medaille

NYU out losing to Williams

[jagluski]

Bowdoin leads Brandeis 30-22 at the half

[jagluski]

Brandeis trails 58-56 with 39 seconds left.

[jagluski]

Bowdoin survives what is probably one of the scariest home games they have had throughout their long home winning streak, winning their 70th home game in a row.  Brandeis did themselves proud, losing in the 2nd round of the tournament solely because of the tough matchup/site they drew.  They had the talent to go much further, which they certainly showed tonight. 

Bowdoin knocks off Brandeis 59-56 as Jamie Capra's 3 point shot at the buzzer rolled around the rim and out.


2 UAA teams left in the tourney; Wash U and Rochester.

Very exciting game to listen to, B'deis has no free throws for over 30 minutes but still had a number of chances to beat Bowdoin in their back yard.

Very proud of you, deis!
