What allotment of seats are they giving to LU? I seem to recall someone saying it was like 150 total.

The UNCA guys say their tickets go on sale at 8am at the athletic office. I'm guessing they probably take orders by phone down there so if some enterprising fans were to get ambitious then they might have some luck in that direction if need be.

quarterfinal tickets where available online -- i'm sure the rest will also. My understanding is they are required to give out 100 Tickets (give out, well, sell, haha) to the opposing team but I guess that would be through your Athletic Dept and you guys could always call and get more etc.

Since the game is televised, I assume the school will be showing it on campus somewhere Thursday evening. Didn't they use the Vines Center a couple of years ago under similar circumstances?

i'm planning on being there in person, assuming everything works out. i wasn't going to go to this one, but i changed my mind. i figure its worth the money to go, and i haven't missed my thursday class yet so i can afford that as well

ESPN U. I am orderng mine from DirecTV Wed and cancelling it on Friday

BTW I got to talk shop with Dell Curry and Stephen is my new best friend.

Of course I asked him if he was thinking of transferring and he laughed politely and said no. I had to ask right? I talked with Seth a little too.

While ESPNU has the semifinals, the championship game is on the deuce (ESPN2).

SCAR...when you get the Sports Pack you have to commit for a month. With all the conference tournies coming up next week, it is $12 well-spent.

Yea...I will probably be adding the Sports Pack for the next month...

I called Comcast and confirmed that ESPNU is not available there, even with an upgraded package. If I can't work it out to get off work early and go down (long shot, too many people already off this week) I guess I'll take my chances with the Edge webcast.
If we win tomorrow, I will most definately be in Rock Hill or High Point on Saturday!
Go Flames!!!!

Not to get too ahead of ourselves, but I was just talking yesterday with Rocketfan about how epic an LU @ HPU championship game would be.

If we could beat bart lundy again in a championship game, but this time on his home floor....im guessing he just hands in his resignation the next day.
