I'd like to be there for every weekend game but may try to keep the peace at home as much as possible by driving up Saturday afternoon.
    To be honest, I'm satisfied with ndsu's trajectory. Their going down while we're going up! Great time for that to happen!

      Exactly. Going to the Old Dominion concert Friday night in Brookings. Was planning to zip down to Sioux Falls for noon games on Saturday but now I will likely check into the hotel and enjoy college Bball on television Saturday afternoon with a cold beverage and then attend the evening session Saturday.

      I understand the are having Summit League Fan Fest at the arena Saturday and Sunday as well.

        Not if its anything like Baxter Arena. Better have lower bowl tickets to sit in the lower bowl, no matter how empty the section is. haha

          I'm not sure I can get motivated enough to go watch Saturday afternoon without either SD team.
          My dad and I will probably end up going to every session again. Coming from Hot Springs and from south of Omaha, we are putting our tickets to good use and getting our money's worth.

            We will more than likely go to all the games. We have since the beginning in SF. We are staying at The Sheraton the 4 days.

              same here. I enjoy games that don't have Dakota schools because I don't have any rooting interest. Just nice to watch some games that aren't high pressure.

                Even a disengaged crowd that is 2k-5k is good for the teams that normally play in front of 300-600. Usually, there is some excitement like the year ORU was upset by Oakland or Oral Roberts upset by WIU. It was fun to see Fink lose!

                  Yep, often the crowd favors the underdogs in the games which usually makes a better matchup for SDSU. And its a great chance to catch up with others from the board like oldhare and mitchellrabbit and slosho to a lesser extent, just kidding.......but seriously.

                    You guys are talking me into going Saturday afternoon. I'll have my wife call you if she has issues with it!

                    Tonight's MBB games are on ESPN3. FW at IUPUI especially has potential to be a good one and will definitely affect our seeding.

                        The nice thing about not playing on Saturday is leaving early to find a great place to eat in SF and meet with my kids and grandkids. Plus we can hang out longer at the bar and the Denny. You must owe me one, dont you Goon?

                            Yeah. I think so. Don't remember which bet I lost.
