I would seriously doubt that there will be any trouble walking up for tickets around game time.

As a Wash U alum, I would be stunned if this were not the case

Jags, you are correct, but if students were on campus and the teams weren't travelling from such great distances, I'll bet you this place would damn near sell out. It's a different thing these days on campus than I suspect it used to be. The last Friday night home game against Brandeis brought in 2,000+ and that was reported attendence; you'd have been hard pressed to find 1,000 empty seats. And it wasn't like Deis brought more than 15 fans. Granted, there was an alumni event which brought in a lot more non-students than usual, but the Carnegie game--with no such special events scheduled and considerably less significance in the scheme of league title implications--had 1,400--easily 75 percent of whom were students. Community support has been better of late, but I'm quite worried about home court advantage tonight--I'm not sure we'll have a big one. I'd be surprised if the Field House got more than 1,000, but they've been doing a lot of promo stuff around the area, SLU's season is over, and the Cards don't start for another couple weeks. Assumign Buena Vista brings a decent crowd, it could be a quality atmosphere. Also, if I had to wage a guess, I'd say somewhere around 50 percent of the student body would be back in time for tomorrow night's game. Alas, if Wash.U. survives tonight and the school sends out another campus-wide e-mail promoting the game (they did this for this weekend's regional...the only other time they've done this was the final four last year), you could mobilize some of the student body. That's still a relative longshot, however.

Will Allen be in Plattburgh tonight?

UR picked a tough time to have their worst game of the season. 10 minutes without a field goal in the second half will do that to you.

CGA - 57
UR - 48

Sad day for Uche, Jon, Dan, Jeff, and Rob. Thanks guys, I had a great time watching you through the years.

Brandeis plays a great game and beats Plattsburgh 72-63, setting up what should be a great rematch with Amherst tomorrow night.

howardjp · March 14, 2008, 10:24:53 PM

Too bad the game couldn't be played at a neutral site in Mass. ....

Mr. Ypsi · March 14, 2008, 10:36:50 PM

Wash U trailed (by as much as 13) the first 29 minutes; took first lead (56-55) with 10+ to go.

Now up 5 with 8:48 to go, 61-56.

Mr. Ypsi · March 14, 2008, 10:55:58 PM

53 seconds, Wash U by 1 - what a finish!

Mr. Ypsi · March 14, 2008, 10:59:55 PM

BV down one, has the ball, and commits an offensive foul with 16.8 seconds left!

Mr. Ypsi · March 14, 2008, 11:03:52 PM

BV buries a 3 with 0.8 seconds left! Gonna be OT.

eazye1334 · March 14, 2008, 11:06:57 PM

Wow, this is some game. I thought for sure they were done after the offensive foul.
