UConn not in Albany? Portland bracket here (merged)

[jaydee602]

Not a bad bracket. With Bueckers, Arnold, and Shade to help Muhl, a potential Sweet Sixteen against Ohio State looks less nerve-wracking than last year.

Yes! UCONN can probably beat the Ohio State this season much more effectively than last year.

I'm so annoyed right now. I would have never bought Albany tickets if I'd known. Ugh, the last thing I wanted to do was have to watch LSU, SC, Iowa ...

Well, you bought the tix without knowing so...

 

[NutmegDog]

Potentially Ohio State again in Sweet Sixteen.

We should probably start working on how to break a press.

 

[Jokerman619]

Uconn always does thiers on the court.
Go Huskies.

Fair but let's be honest, it was more likely UConn would be in Albany than shipped out west.

Syracuse going out West too and they are 2 hours from Albany. A potential old Big East match-up happening in Round 2 in Portland. If the committee is so obsessed with storylines why have it out there ...

I purchased 4 tickets to all 4 Albany sessions (16 total tickets). I put them up for sale a few days ago on Ticketmaster, and already sold 10/16. With Iowa & SC heading up the 2 Albany brackets respectively, I expect the remaining 6 tickets to be gone by tomorrow.

 

[DrummerDee]

Not for ticket holders

sure it is. Iowa, LSU, UCLA, SC all in Portland? Put those tickets up for sale...Caitlin Mania will be alive and well! Make some big $$$$$$$

 

[Wbbfan1]

Tickets can be sold on Geekseat and Stubhub. I would think they would be easy to sell. Sell them to Iowa Fans

I hope you made some decent $$$ off them!

UConn potentially facing Syracuse in the 2nd round makes me nervous. Syracuse is very scrappy and when they play to their full potential they can be very good. They beat ND twice this year ...

Let's concentrate on playing Jackson State, who gave LSU all it could handle last year! They are very athletic, something we had a hard time playing against this year. They are not the most efficient scoring team, so we should win but it will be a fight. Just saying, worry about the Second Round after the horn sounds and we've won the first game.

 

[oldude]

Anyone have a recommendation on where to sell tickets? The Iowa ones will be quite valuable, with SC not far behind.

Ticketmaster. Over the past week or so I sold 10/16 Albany tickets and the other 6 should be gone by tomorrow. They will even recommend a sale price, possibly above face value, and they take only a 10% commission.

 

[luminosity]

Just a reminder that it's not normal to just expect the committee to give in and put any team in their preferred regional only because of their school name. No other team in the country has those expectations and y'all got burned as a result.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Ooof. Jackson State!!!!

 

[dibster]

Any suggestions as to best way to sell tickets for Albany games?

Sell on official Ticketmaster site straight from your ™ account. They make it easy. I did it and already got paid.

 

[Hayven]

Yes. But they have a decent path to the FF in Portland

 

[ochoopsfan]

You might want to find an Iowa fan board or go on Iowa WBB twitther site.

 

[Alydar]

We should probably start working on how to break a press.

Last year Muhl was the only guard. UConn is starting 3 pg's this year.

 

[UConnFanMSM]

...There will be some good games in Albany. Think I'll keep my Albany Regional 2 tickets and hope that some Notre Dame or South Carolina fans might like to purchase the Albany Regional 1 tickets.

Only the winner of UConn and Cuse go out west not both game would be in Storrs if they both win round one

You do realize that if UConn meets Syracuse in Round 2 it would be in Storrs? The first 2 rounds are on campus for the top 16 seeds.

Exactly what Rebecca Lobo said on the broadcast

 

[huskiemaniac]

You have to buy early or pay a mint!

 

[hoopsdiva]

So when do we play? Friday? Saturday? I need to plan my weekend around the games.

 

[jaydee602]

UCONN's region is the only region where no team that has defeated the Huskies this season.
Regions 1 & 4 have TWO teams that beat UCONN.
So, our only revenge game could be vs. the team that knocked us out last season.
