Now that the schedules are out for all schools..... how many games are you planning on attending this season?

As for me....... must see games.....

Blue/White Scrimmage ... first chance to see all the new players in action

Alaska-Anchorage (exhibition) .... first chance to see team play another team

Ohio State ....... the Lexie Brown-Kelsey Mitchell head to head matchup should be a good one.... plus the chance to boo Sierra Calhoun in person :cool:

@South Carolina ... The closest Del Taco is in Columbia.......... and if Im gonna drive 3.5 hours for some Carne Asada French Fries...... minus well take in a WCBB game as well :p


NC State ..... we owe them for the past 2 seasons... plus should be a great crowd

@ Wake Forest ..... 5 dollar tickets+30 minutes from home+nice arena with comfortable seats+favorite fried chicken joint is 5 minutes from the arena :)

Ga Tech ...... NCAA caliber team

Notre Dame ....... Coach Ivey in person :cool::p:D;):):cool::p:D:D:D

UNC .... Senior Night ..... always good to skin some heels :mad:

ACC Tourney ...... Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Final (regardless of who is playing)

Probable/Possible

Oregon State
Wyoming
UVA

Georgia @ NC A&T

Middle Tennessee at Charlotte.

That's a lot of attending Triad! Glad to see you aren't overly bitter about Calhoun transferring! ;)

Seeing as I live in LA, I already bought tickets for the UCLA game, and then also for the regionals in Albany, which I will be attending with my family and hopefully Ken (Milford)...

I had it in mind to go to Reno for Gabby's game (probable slaughter), but the day before Thanksgiving I can't sell. :(

At UCLA.

At Temple.

Senior Night.

Albany Regionals.

These are all certain/likely. I wanted USF or UCF, but I'll be in Cabo and Cancun those dates.

Final Four is possible.

AAC tournament at the Mohegan Sun. Games at Gampel just aren't worth it anymore. I really miss the Providence and Holy Cross away games.

Thanksgiving is the 23rd of Nov.so i guess i will see Rocky Mt Blue in Reno after all.I will be the guy with half a basketball and a propeller on my head.(kidding of course).The game is on the 28th so you have lots of recovery time.I am driving 500 or so miles from Palm Springs on the 27th,staying at Harrah's.

I just got my ticket for the Oklahoma game at Mohegan Sun! I will get to some other Gampel games, I'm sure.

Two : At SFU and at CFU. Final Four is a waaaay long shot -- not likely, so let's just say two for now.

2 so far - @UCLA & @Texas.

FF possible but unlikely (much easier to get indifferent family members excited about New Orleans, or Florida, or some tourist destination - anywhere but Ohio :eek: )

How hard is it to get AAC tournament tickets at the Mohegan Sun? The wife and I would like to make the trip up and make a weekend of it.

I've missed 29 games, both in season and post-season over 2 years with my health issues! I am soooo bummed out about that!
This year I have tickets for all Gampel, all XL, The Sun, AAC Tournament, and I'll get first round tickets if they're at Gampel again!
I'm about 1/2 way done with my Cardiac Rehab and the powers that be must think I'm doing ok because they are constantly bumping up my weights and my reps!
The last game I went to last season was Dec. 1st the DePaul game where I had a heart attack and didn't know it! Dec. 2nd rushed to the hospital when my Dr realized I had had a heart attack! Dec. 6th my heart stopped for a split second and on the 7th I had a pacemaker put in! I told the medical team before I had the pacemaker put in that I better be able to watch ND vs UCONN at 7pm that night! I did! Then Feb. 7th had a mysectomy and maze procedure heart operation! Then right after the heart operation I wound up having bladder/prostate problems and having a catheter in! Early April I had bladder/prostate surgery (no more catheter, yea!). Then cyst removal surgery from my back in May!
I haven't been able to walk normal for about 6 to 8 months with both legs and right hip problems, so I just had a cortisone shot in right hip 2 days ago and so far I'm able to walk normal as long as I concentrate on taking each step! I'm hoping my side of the coin comes up heads as I think I deserve some good luck for a long while!
Nothing like paying for the most expensive WCBB tickets in the USA and have to watch the games on TV!

Last game was the 2015 National Championship game set at Tampa.

Next up is Reno.

That will probably be it for the year unless we visit my brother-in-law in CT and get to a game then.

We go to the tournament every year. We have never had a problem getting good (upper bowl) seats. I've used Ticketmaster (ugh!) and also the Casino ticket office (a much better experience).

Mrs. B is limited mobility this year, so I hope we will be able to get to the Oklahoma game at Mohegan. If not maybe I'll get my son in law to join me for the Notre Dame game.

I would like to attend at least one a month excluding November or at least that was my original plan. I was planning on going to the SCar game which I thought was going to be scheduled for a Monday. Now that it's on a Thursday I am not sure I can go. My original plan was:

Dec. 22- Duquesene (Toronto, Ontario)
Jan. 21- Temple (Philadelphia, PA)
Feb. 01- South Carolina (Columbia, SC)
March- Albany, NY Regionals
April- Columbus, OH Final Four

Now it might be:

Dec. 22- Duquesene (Toronto, Ontario)
Jan. 21- Temple (Philadelphia, PA)
Feb. 10- Wichita St. (Hartford, CT) or Feb 12- Louisville (Storrs, CT)
March- Albany, NY Regionals
April- Columbus, OH Final Four

The other option would be to skip going to any games in February all together because that is the worst month here in terms of weather and instead go to 2 games in November when the weather is still generally quite mild:

Nov. 17- California (Storrs, CT)
Nov. 19- Maryland (Hartford, CT)

If I make this change it would just be a whole weekend in the state of Connecticut. Then my full schedule for the season would be:

Nov. 17- California (Storrs, CT)
Nov. 19- Maryland (Hartford, CT)

Dec. 22- Duquesene (Toronto, Ontario)
Jan. 21- Temple (Philadelphia, PA)
March- Albany, NY Regionals
April- Columbus, OH Final Four
