In. In fact, I have 4 extra tix I need to sell for someone who backed out. I'm going to do a separate post, but if you know of someone who needs tix let me know. I can email them.

Cost was $170 total--3rd row of second level at mid-court.

Go MU!

I'm in for Saturday. I can't confirm, but someone told me BW-3 is the closest place for a beer other than inside the stadium itself. I've never been to the Sears. Anyone know if this is true?

Staying at the Marriott.  Is that where the team is staying?

Yes.
There's also a casual restaurant called Claim Jumper near the BW3 and a bar called the Penny Road Pub (along Penny Road, near Route 59) within a short drive.

Won't be there but I will be enjoying the Women's team playing Utah, Virginia, and Gonzaga this weekend.  Any MKE area individuals who will not be able to make the Chicago Invite, come on down to the Al and watch some high quality, fast paced basketball!

Surprisingly small crowd for the game tonight.  I hope it is better on Sat night.  The section we sat in had way more Dayton fans than Marquette fans.
