Can't wait for tomorrow. This is a golden opportunity for this team to take a huge step forward and carry some positive momentum into the NCAA tourney. Hope the crowd is large and electric. Crowd tonight was not very large, but very ready to get rowdy.
The Big East tourney in general results in screwy ticket allotments and sales. The finals last year had a shade over 10,000, whereas the Seton Hall game had 11,000+.See this is where I fault UCONN. The last Notre Dame game, students showed up (to the best of their ability granted it was a late Monday night.) For the BE Tournament, UCONN made 20 tickets available. 20!! How do they expect to have good attendance and a good atmosphere when you suck the life out of the arena? By not making tickets more available and well priced for students, it makes it hard to get a rowdy and energetic atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the BET has nothing to do with the university. It is bid out and contracted entirely separately. I suspect that UConn came up with the fairest process they could. I would suggest to the students interested in the Final to do what they can to band together and pursue the best solution they can to support the team and their fellow students. Good Luck!Ok thanks for clearing that up. It's just disappointing that UCONN had to run a lottery system for the student's tickets for the men's tournament, while the women only get an allotment of 20. I understand it's all a business though...
