Lots of decent hotels in downtown Charlotte. Our exit off of I 77 is exit 35 which is 35 miles from the NC/SC border so it is about 20 miles to downtown Charlotte. I very rarely go to downtown Charlotte and if I need to go my daughter who lives nearby takes me.

I would not go to downtown Charlotte at night as there are a lot of shootings there. I think there were over 130 last year. When I watch the news at 11 PM they start off just about every night with several shootings. Just about as bad as downtown Boston.

So I will sit comfortably at home and watch it on TV. If the games were during the afternoon and tickets were available I would go.

Good luck to them and hope they can win a couple of more games.

The only player that could play is Sims if she clears the concussion protocol. That would be a big help.

^ Madison Lowery is on the roster. She saw minutes regularly this year. We don't know why she did not travel to the A-10.
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."

Could be in quarantine.

OK. In order to watch the WNIT games you have to sign up for FLO HOOPS. They have a FREE 30 day trial. I have signed up for it and will test it out on my AMAZON fire stick this afternoon.

The roster doesn't tell us much. Oliver and Donnelly are still on it and we were told that they have left the team. Sims and Lowery didn't go to the A10 games due to "an internal matter" or some such nonsense. We can use the depth so I'm hoping that they have resolved whatever issue Verdi had with them.

Have tried to find out just where in Charlotte the games will be played and if tickets would be available. No luck so far.

^ For your info, Verdi was asked today if they would have any help for the tourney and he said just the "Savage Seven" will be playing!

Have been trying to set up FUBO to watch the games and a big mess. They have a free 30 day trial but because I had an account probably 2 years ago to watch the UMass FB games I now have to purchase a plan at $64.99. No way.

The Internet world tells me it’s at Bojanglea Colliseum, based on a February release. Said each site would determine ticket availability and such and info would be available closer to games...

Found where the Bojangles Colosseum is located and would not be hard to get to. However they don't list any events for this weekend.

You go to that site and you don't get any info at all. There is no info on any of the TV stations and nothing in the paper. Guess they don't want or are allowing any fans into the games.

Thanks. I was just looking to see if tickets were going to be available. Would not go into Charlotte after dark. Not very safe.
