Has this tournament really fallen to the point where not even the championship game gets on the Mothership? I'm glad I will be able to see every game, but come on ESPN, pull your heads out.

The USC matchup, I'm figuring, may be a little more difficult than anticipated. If I'm not mistaken, USC brings back all five starters along with two top 100 recruits. I'm thinking this might be a tougher game than some may think. Which would be a good thing, prepares us for the rest of the tourney.

Yeah...pay backs are always nice!

[Overtime]

I see that single session tickets are available thru ticketmaster but not the $125 all session GA tickets. Also the Dayton web site is announcing all session tickets are available.....but I have had no luck finding them on ticketmaster or anywhere else. Anyone have better info? Thanks!

Rematch maybe. Jackson v. VanVleet.

jackson, the former mcdonalds all-american, will not shoot like that again. not against wichita state. but if he does, van vleet will shoot better.


such a tough tournament, though. notre dame-wichita state isn't a given.

We will play Utah at Intrust Arena and maybe Notre Dame at this event which is 2 of the few teams that defeated us last Season. I like it. I like it alot. S. Cal will be improved this Season but so will we.

wichita state went into the postseason with a record of 27-3, that something of a rebuilding year after the undefeated season (until kentucky). van vleet has to make it easy for his teammates this year. he has to take on the pressure and shrug it off.. like it was ridiculously EASY to be a teammate of magic johnson at michigan state, no matter the stakes of the game- make your teammates around you better, with ease. defensive disruption. flowing fast breaks. a nod and a wink.

We all agree that FVV is like having a player/coach on the floor. There were times at the end of last Season that FVV took on more of the scoring load in games when needed. However, this Season, he will be more apt to break all of his own assist records because we will have so many shooters and various scorers of different games that will get hot. Guess what? When you get hot, get ready to get the rock from our competitive FVV because he likes to win first and foremost more than most people ever dreamed of. That is among the reasons he is an All American this Season of course along with Baker. Imagine this. 2 All American guards in our starting line-up. Niceeeeee!!!!!!!

Call the Wichita State ticket office. If they tell you no then you can probably call Dayton and get some tix through them.
