They are cheap tickets. Should be full for these games.It appears that tickets have been going fast and the barn will be near capacity. I can’t find good seats anywhere. This seems to be a really good sign for the program.
I actually like watching from the 2nd deck... gives a broader perspective of the game... nobody in front of us and can stretch my legs.just looked... and

and plenty of upper deck open
Will be interesting to see if the Gophers can be top 2-3 of the 16 sites in attendance. Would not be that surprising. Attendance juggernaut South Carolina usually has somewhat less than normal attendance for the first 2 rounds because their fans just assume it's a cakewalk to the regional.They are cheap tickets.

went to Norfolk to watch us beat Duke.. still ONE of the best basketball games I have been to in person!... as an aside, the #7 seeded 2004 Gophers are the only team to defeat the #2, #3, and #1 seeded teams in their region. I am sure many on this forum watched all 3 games in-person.
I suspect it all driven by TV and who wins Friday games around the country. I'd still think it is mid-afternoon start, but we'll find out.It appears that tickets have been going fast and the barn will be near capacity. I can’t find good seats anywhere.

that's how the tournament works.. ESPN decides once matchups are made.. i'm sure we will know by Saturday morning.I'm thinking about coming to the game on Sunday if the Gophs win on Friday. But I can't find any info on game time. I just see "TBD". How can that be? Seems like we should know what time the game is regardless of who will be playing. Anybody know?
Thanksthat's how the tournament works.. ESPN decides once matchups are made.. i'm sure we will know by Saturday morning.
no problem.. ESPN and NCAA runs this tournament.. so we are all just along for the ride..Thanks
Actually I did, Norfolk was a very fun but tiring trip. It rained a lot in Norfolk VA the whole time we were there. Duke had three times as many fans but Gophers fans were louder. Still have my game tickets.... as an aside, the #7 seeded 2004 Gophers are the only team to defeat the #2, #3, and #1 seeded teams in their region.

I watch mine all the time. I will never get tired of Whalen making Beard cry.went on the Charter the day trip! it was such a blast!!
might throw the game on my dvd player tomorrow!
Agreed, time to make some great memories. This has been such a fun season, don't want it to end any time soon. Hoping to have a surprise trip to Sacremento.It's fun to reminisce... to watch the dvd's, hold the game tickets, remember the old hotel the Erban's had rented, dig out the old newspapers... but, that was then and today is today...
Beat Green Bay!!!!
Go Gophers!!!

If we beat GB, which I think we will, the match up with Ole Miss will be a challenge. We will have 2 keep our winning formula of low TO’s and balanced scoring to win.I see all these "experts" completing their brackets and they all seem to have Ole Miss beating the Gophers. Lets get that Barn rockin!!
Charli Creme predicts Minnesota with a 69-67 win. My anxiety would enjoy a larger cushion, but I think it would be an exciting matchup!I see all these "experts" completing their brackets and they all seem to have Ole Miss beating the Gophers. Lets get that Barn rockin!!

Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if both games are close on Friday.I have a feeling we're going to have all we can handle with GB but my blood pressure would certainly appreciate a 15 point win.
We lost at Washington by more than GB did. 4-13 and 5-12 look like some really good games to see. Friday looks like it will be sold out.I have a feeling we're going to have all we can handle with GB but my blood pressure would certainly appreciate a 15 point win.

We’re favored 22.5 so hope we can make the fans and bettors happy!I have a feeling we're going to have all we can handle with GB but my blood pressure would certainly appreciate a 15 point win.
Whoa...22.5 seems like a ton of points. Vegas doesn't like giving away their money so I feel good about that large spread.We’re favored 22.5 so hope we can make the fans and bettors happy!
Ole Miss favored 15.5 over Gonzaga.
