Arch Madness all-session ticket sales down 31% compared to last year

No surprise. The worse news is the 1300+ WSU sold through the offices pales in comparison to the number of WSU fans that went without going through the ticket office. It will be thin to win in St Louis, which honestly is sad. That was a great event for many years other than the annual assaults on WSU fan's wallets. See you in Orlando.Comment

They can all suck it forever.
Some fans complaining about some mid-court sections not being as good as other mid-court sections, and should be sold at a discount.
Try row QQ behind the basket, asshats.
4 teams have "sold" more than the league-required number and 3 of those 4 are within 2.5 hours of STL. With 6/10 teams buying the minimum, who knows how many were actually "purchased" by fans. WSU fans aren't doing it to get decent seats this year.Comment

I was told ticket sales would be up because fans stopped going when it was obvious WSU was going to win every year.Comment

Ah, yes, the Groupon approachThe Valley is hopeful that several ticket promotions (Ticket Promotions) can also boost sales.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

Missouri State currently getting Evansville by Drake at home which ironically could push the Bears to Drake Thursday in St. Louis.
Loyola getting Evansville'd by the real thing which sadly affects nothing.Comment

Anyone see or read about the finish to the Bradley @ Valpo game this past Saturday? Bradley had a 60-56 lead with round 6:00 miniutes to play. With 55 seconds left Valpo had turned that into a 77-60 lead with a 21-0 run. Maybe Valpo (who is tied for last with UNI) is gearing up a run out of the play-in round to the auto-bid in St. Louis.
However, MIssouri State may have topped that in wierdness in their 63-67 home loss to Drake. MSU's Jarred Dixon went down hard after being fouled on a breakaway with Drake leading 53-48. Apparently, a number of MSU players left the bench to check on Dixon and by rule were ejected even though no fighting was involved. That left the Bears with only 2 reserves. Apparently, that pissed a couple of Bear fans off who were close to the floor and they were ejected. Apparently, that got the crowd of just under 5,000 going. The Bears than went on a 12-3 run to take a 60-56 lead with 2:00 to play. However, MSU hit only 3 of 9 free throws in those last 2 minutes and with the game tied at 63-63 Drake's Reed Timmer hit a long 3-pointer and was fouled with 2 seconds on the clock giving Drake the 4 point win.Last edited by 1972Shocker; February 20, 2018, 12:27 PM.Comment

Loyola goes 15-3 (25-6 overall) to win the Valley. SIU finishes second. Valpo edges out UNI, UE, and MSU for last. Surely Lusk and Simmons are done.
LUC and Drake put together nice recruiting classes, and Bradley returns everyone except Deonte Thomas next year.Livin the dreamComment

That has been the common refrain regarding Paul Lusk for a number of years now.
But considering they were expected to contend for the Valley title this year and had 5 seniors and 4 juniors on their roster including an NBA prosect in Alize Johnson this could, in fact, be the end of the line for Coach Lusk.

Echoing ShockBand from last week after looking at the final MVC standings...
Man, am I glad WSU isn't in that league any more. I know Warren Nolan has the Valley 8th in RPI, just one step behind the American (although the ELO rating varies somewhat more: 7th for the American, 10th for the Valley), but when I look at the names from the two leagues, it is NOT a close comparison, even though Loyola does bring the coveted Chicago market (yeah, suurrrre) to the Valley.Comment

Absolutely zero question from a competition and name recognition perspective. Loyola does have a very nice team this year (similar to the Redbirds last season), and I’m glad to see Bradley continuing to make strides.Originally posted by WSUwatcher View PostLivin the dreamComment
