Herman Cain · « **on:** March 10, 2018, 10:07:37 PM »

Just curious to see how many people on this board would actually be willing to go to an NIT game if MU ends up in that tournament.

wisblue · « **Reply #1 on:** March 10, 2018, 10:14:04 PM »

There is no option for "it depends". If I feel like it, and if one of my daughters feels like going, I might go. But I wouldn't want to go to a game at the BC. I want the full house and the fun of the Creighton game to be my last memory of a Marquette game at the BC, not a game with 4000 people in attendance against the regular season champion of some third rate conference.

TAMU, Knower of Ball · « **Reply #2 on:** March 10, 2018, 10:33:06 PM »

Absolutely I would if I wasn't a 1000 miles away. More MU basketball is better than less

GooooMarquette · « **Reply #3 on:** March 10, 2018, 10:41:12 PM »

I would definitely go if I still lived in Milwaukee.

brewcity77 · « **Reply #4 on:** March 10, 2018, 11:05:39 PM »

I'd like to. Wife will probably make the decision for me, though.

JamilJaeJamailJrJuan · « **Reply #5 on:** March 10, 2018, 11:09:19 PM »

Game will be at the AL if NIT is the result.

Wojo Era · « **Reply #6 on:** March 10, 2018, 11:42:19 PM »

Would a second or third round NIT home game also be at the AL?

BossplayaOtto · « **Reply #7 on:** March 10, 2018, 11:48:11 PM »

A game at the Al would make it a definite yes. Will also probably go if at Bradley Center or at Mecca.

First round games are on 3/13 and 3/14.

I would go. Though I think we still make the ncaa

any idea on price?

Disco Hippie · « **Reply #15 on:** March 11, 2018, 12:09:26 PM »

I'm in the only if they make it to MSG camp but that's because I live in metro NYC so it's really the only game I'd be able to attend by default. But if they get that far I'll be there.

Back in 2004, it was $20.

Eye · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2018, 12:47:39 PM »

I'd be in the it depends category, too. What day of the week, who plays in the NC2As if it's the same day in the 2nd round, who's the opponent, any chance of crappy weather. But that's also largely the same list of qualifiers I have for regular season games. Cheaper tickets and parking in a smaller and rarer venue doesn't hurt. But home games only almost for sure.

15 years since we knew to ask what the price of a NIT ticket is. We've been entitled.

PhillyWarrior · « **Reply #19 on:** March 11, 2018, 01:15:13 PM »

No, the NIT is irrelevant, kind of like MU has been for 5 years. Season tix holder for 35 years, done spending $$ on MU this season

Same. I'll be watching. If they happen to play a road game near me I'd be there.

mu.n8ball · « **Reply #22 on:** March 11, 2018, 02:38:29 PM »

voted no but only because I'm on the west coast. otherwise, heck yes I'd he there.

GB Warrior · « **Reply #23 on:** March 11, 2018, 02:42:41 PM »

Will absolutely go. I know there's no chance it will be at the BC, but I echo the sentiments of a previous poster. The Creighton game should be my last memory there

A chance to play more basketball, get the young kids additional reps in a win or go home environment. As a 35 year season ticket holder, you should know that importance for MU in the past and other teams.

NIT was the expectation this year, if that is where we land it means we met expectations.

This is a great quote. Nice.

Horrible multiple choice options.

I will attend games to the Al if I get tix.

I will attend any road game within drviving distance.

I would swallow my disdain for a weekend to see MU at MSG. Even though MSG is bad for you.

Herman Cain · « **Reply #32 on:** March 11, 2018, 08:18:34 PM »

If we make it to MSG , I will be going.

Depending on my travel schedule and the teams success I may go the 3rd round game which could possibly be Notre Dame.

If I lived in Milwaukee, I'd probably go. If I was home in suburban Chicago, not worth the effort. Being in Florida, not a chance.

Assuming ticket prices aren't completely unreasonable, I'll be there.

I'm pretty close to this if it fits my work schedule (Wednesday does not). Third round game in South Bend? Count me in! Can't do NY though.

Glad 4 years into Wojo your digging the NIT.

Ya, the NIT sucks. And, it sucks that this is totally self inflicted.

With that said, there is some really good competition in this year's NIT. This is a good opportunity to set a tone for next year.

ND sucks.

I think I'll hold my breath and kick my feet and pound my fists until Wojo gets us to the Sweet Sixteen.

And if I die before it happens, that's on him.

I really hope there's a lot of energy in the building Wednesday.

We've attended both recent Al games (Alabama A&M and UWM). Both were great fun. Neither had the drama or impact of a competitive NIT game. Looking forward to it.

If I lived in the Milwaukee area I would go.
If they have a game within driving distance I would go. (We won't if we keep winning.)
I will go to MSG to see if we make it that far.

I heard they gave free tickets to the first 500 students that responded. Hopefully that motivated a few kids to come back early from break.

Love him or hate him, I do not understand why a fan would not watch Rousey play another game. I am hoping we can play at least three games in NIT. Rousey has 643 points this season and Howard has 633. I think the all-time season scoring record is 690. With three NIT games both Rousey and Howard could surpass 690, which would be pretty amazing.

According to Sports Reference, Wade had 710 in 2003. Still a total worth watching if they play 3+ games.
