Any thoughts on scalping for the second game of a session - will tickets still be there? Thinking about getting my son out of school and heading over.

Today or later in the week? That could possibly change the accessibility of tickets.

Today is a one-off general admission thing. Tomorrow through Saturday are tickets from books. Either way, I'm guessing it won't be difficult or expensive.

You know why Va Tech has like no chance of winning the tournament ? Because they play us tonight ! Suck it Hokies !

 

[IamThunderbolt]

Today. I figure the rest of the week will be like tournaments past with the tickets coming from books. I know tickets will be plentiful before the 1:00 game, just not sure about coming mid-session. Maybe I'll head down there during lunch @ 12:30 and see what I can get.

Why are today's games day games, and not on at 7 and 9?

 

[IamThunderbolt]

probably TV

 

[bernbp5]

Tv would be better if it was 7 and 9 instead of day when everyone is at work.

I mean ESPN/ESPN2 is showing other conference tournament games (later rounds and some championships) in primetime, so ACC first round games get bumped to earlier.

Double-O Seven

Feeling saucy? Just round that bad boy up to .1%.

 

[Deac83]

Because these are 11/14 and 12/13 games that even the alumni barely have interest in?

 

[uncaboref]

Tv would be better if it was 7 and 9 instead of day when everyone is at work.

You're already making today's teams try to win 5 games in 5 days to win the tournament, starting the games at 7 and 9 would just be extra cruel on top of that.

I hope we stop the lay-up train and the standing around watching the ball go the basket when we should be putting a body on somebody!

 

[DeacInVermont]

The good news for our game is that Jamie Luckie and his random acts of blindness are being foisted on BC/GaTech

 

[LilburnDeac]

Shouldn't the thread title be: "New York Life ACC Tournament"?

 

[Demonwolverine]

It's pretty depressing that even if we lose in the Championship game, we still won't even make the NIT.

coliseum is empty...they just closed the curtains up top to hide seats

Not true. There's a big gangbang going on up there.

let me get my camera up there then
