Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

[69MG]

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.

Well here it is, last game of the regular season.

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.

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+.

I'm thinking of heading out for this one...

flyer on twitter this morning says 7:00.

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?

[Berkman]

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.

Senior night was last weekend vs the Bonnies

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.

7:30 is too early, should be a 9:00 game.
