Game 31, 2023-24: VCU (A10 Quarters, 3/14)

[MikeUMA]

Lets get a list going. Who already has tickets and where are you sitting?

[eldonabe]

the usher wouldn’t let my boys go to our seats in the upper level, because I was at concessions and I had the tickets on my phone

Am I understanding you correctly - the usher wanted to see the kids' tickets but only you had them?
That seems a bit much. If you're trying to sit down low, yeah I could see them checking. But upper level? Who cares?

Maybe your kids look shady

Looks like we get the winner of VCU-Fordham. Fordham knocked off Davidson today in OT, 71-63.

Ring it up . See all there

Frank's media session today...

Keon update: He's good. Full go in practice yesterday and today, nothing lingering. Extra rest (UM was the only A-10 team off last weekend) helped.

Full weeks off earlier in the year: no good, you get out of your routine. At this time of year, he does like it, helps guys reset and recuperate. The rest really helps, as we're more of a hard working team than a naturally gifted team.

Practices last two days have been tremendous.

Perimeter shooting is going to be key. If we can hit some shots, look out. Keep the offense flowing, got a little stagnant the last couple games.

One of them took the 4 Train! Just ask John Rocker ( old reference lost on your young crowd) I love the fact that there is a Stop and Shop across the street from Barclays!

This was our backup plan for a pre-game

[Berkman]

I saw somewhere that someone is predict that we make it to the championship game That would be nice.

Great news on Keon.

[DoctorJ]

Great news.

How about Davis?

[69MG]

I was told he is OK for Thursday. Haven't seen anything formal, though.

[WillHerndonFan]

Who's been to the A10 Tourney in Barclays before? How closely do ushers check your tickets when you step into a seating section?

I'm probably going but would be good to save a little money by buying high and sitting lower.

Last year it was easy to go where you wanted to sit without your tickets being checked, but I believe most of the sections are general admission with only the best seats being actually reserved.
