Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)
Two things.
1. Let's send this team into the A10 tournament with a huge crowd. I urge everyone who can make it to get to the game. Hoping for 5,000.
2. Does anyone know why the game is at 7:30 and not 7:00? It's only televised on ESPN+, so I doubt it's a TV issue.

Maybe because it is our last game? Every other team plays after this game. Maybe a way to single it out? Maybe USA or CBS could’ve picked it up? It is a weird time, I agree.69MG wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 8:47 pm Two things.

Just found that it will be shown on NESN+ for our New England fans. There isn't another game in front of it, so still no explanation for the 7:30 time. Odd that neither the UMass website nor the Fordham website mention NESN+.

flyer on twitter this morning says 7:00.
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

I think that was just a typo by someone who knows all of the game are at 7:00. This is a flyer from the ticket office:

I just checked my E-Tickets in my Apple Wallet and it says 7:30 and ESPN says 7:30 as well

7:30 is a bit weird. Does it help attendance by making it easier for people to get out of work and make the trek, hurt attendance since the game is later and it's a work/school night, or does it not matter?

Might the 7:30 start have to do with Senior Night stuff?

Just for the heck of it I checked the price of the Fordham game and saw the most expensive are around $ 26. I paid $ 66 with the tax and fees on line for the Davidson game. UMass is a bargain.

Maybe they need time to send out roving patrols to round up the students and get them to the game.

Oh wow yeah, you're right. Not sure how I forgot about that one.
