Calhoun St. Joe's Tickets

I think you just buy a ticket when you get there. IIRC, when I was a student at Bestconn, other student athletes got in free and everybody else paid like $2-5 or something like that. This was back in 2011, so could be different, but I can't see getting tickets an issue.

I’m an alumnus as well. If they still play at the small midtown gym that could sell out quick. I’ll get there early, Buy a ticket and go to TK’s til game time.

That’s New to me. Yeah, I was there right after coach Paul Pasqualoni left. I’m an OG. That was the late 80’s. They played the Basketball games at
Midtown. Lol

God I miss TK's. After I turned 21 I went there and was so excited to order a pitcher of Spaten Oktoberfest that I could drink straight from the pitcher. Unfortunately I made the mistake of saying that out loud, and they wouldn't give me my own pitcher. Sad.

We have gone over this before on The Boneyard, but I am a defender of D3 Basketball...There are many strong teams, and a lot of them are in New England. Yes, some teams suck as well but it is much better intramural or public high school ball which it sometimes gets compared to. The best D3 teams can compete with low D1 teams and many D3 teams would beat average D2 teams. I don't remember the prices for games when I played but I believe they could be around $10 or more at tournament time. There is more drinking at the D3 level.

a) I love Jim Calhoun. I've been fortunate enough to talk to him one on one about our similar upbringings and what impact he's had on me as a person before.

b) That being said, I wouldn't sit there and watch him ride around his yard mowing his lawn.

c) St Joe's didn't even have male students 3 years ago. Let's stop comparing their current roster to a D3 program that is in the top 1% of a huge pool of mediocrity.

Anyone who'd advance buy tickets to these games is an irrational leg humper. And that's fine....just admit it.

You are a very unpleasant human being.

I’m betting a lot of you have never seen an average division 3 game. Go down to your local high schools open gym on a Tuesday night. It’s a tick better than that.

Either you are joking or you have no clue. I go to D3 games and while the talent is not D1, these kids are very good and they play for the love of the game.

I’m not joking. One of my best friends was in the D3 Sweet 16 for two straight years. When we’d all run pickup games in the summer he wasn’t ever clear and away the best player on the court.

I get it. You love Calhoun. But let’s not make it seem like watching him coach at St Joes is a gift.

David O would never be considered the best player in any decent pick up game. In fact, he was probably the worst player at the Hartford Pro Am. But he played for uconn lol doesn’t mean D1 is bad

I haven't - but I have seen D3 x-country races - and the fact that I would not come in last in some of the races that I've seen tells me that what you are saying is probably true ;)
 
I mean, really? Are they that starved for quality programming? Who would buy advertising time during that? Seems silly.

Now this is hilarious. A 50k clear channel am signal blasting D3 basketball into Ontario.

Is there a worse place to be a sports fan than CT?

This has got to be a joke. Calhoun's a great coach, but I went to the games to watch the team play, not him yell at people. Get a grip people.

Wow. I guess the only thing worse than watching one of these games is sitting next to a radio listening to one.

I so look forward to the reviews of D3 games. They are stick a fork in your eye boring.

You're just not betting enough to bring the magic. Jay Wright's first coaching job was as a D3 assistant. As with all in life, we make our own excitement.

Nope. Not a joke. Joe D was interviewing Glen Miller this morning. Joe D said he was "Excited to be working together again."
 
I just bought a pair of tickets to the opener.
$24 to sit in the gym on a Friday night with my 12 year old basketball loving son sounds like a good evening.
It's history for St. Josephs so it will be an event.
Seeing Calhoun jump around and yell will also be a treat.
Things you just don't see everyday.

$12 a ticket for a D3 basketball game? I've never seen that before. Sometimes $5 and most of the time it's free.

I don't know, have you seen a recent JC interview? I don't think he's going to be bringing the intensity anymore.

I live right down the street from UHa, for years I've been telling myself I should check out a game because it's probably cheap entertainment but so far have never bothered.

They'll fill the gym with 12$ tickets, why wouldn't they charge it? The whole point of allowing men's sports was the make some money.

UHart games are really fun to watch. Last year it was way more entertaining than UConn games... Probably would have beat us too.
