Awesome video!
great marketing!
The best part is when Dom puts down the ally-oop and the music picks up.
we better not lose to St. Johns or Seton Hall at home..if we do i blame the team for looking ahead :P
Marquette has never sold out a weeknight game. I'd say this would be a good game to go to if you don't have tickets!
Less than 1,000 left. It will sell out easily and the BC will be rocking like never before......I'm guessing the loudest crowd the BC has ever had!
Great website. I kept thinking that selloutUconn.com was for the women's game or something.
Anyone see this at the bottom this text:
Are you a basketball coach, do you play basketball, are you employed or do you have any friends?
If so, find out how you can take advantage of a special offer. Call (414) 288-3040 for more details or email us
??? So .. if you're not a coach, don't play, are unemployed, and have no friends, DO NOT CALL!
Strange.

Think about it. Unless they are trying to sell single seat, obstructed views, to a person who can't afford it, what's wrong with the promo?

Awesome video!
That video makes me want to reenact the opening scene in Gladiator!
Wordless choirs = about a hundred different kinds of awesome. 8-)
Never want to look ahead, but that's a game that could potentially decide the league, it's somewhat likely that both teams will be ranked in the top 10 at the time of this game. At that point, the only thing that could make the game more epic is if it were a national #1 vs. #2. While that scenario is unlikely in this conference, given the teams' present poll positions, it is not as ridiculous a thought to entertain as it would have been a month ago.
(Also, I just about hit the floor laughing when I saw my scary/disturbing/yelling face in that promo video. The shot at the end where the students are yelling into the camera is from the MU-UConn game in 2006. I am on the far left with my face painted like a blue and gold jack o lantern. Ah, 106.) :D
TT, is the video being updated as Uconn's poll position changes? right now it has number 2 in it. Would that change if they go to number 1 on monday?

Given the sudden appearance of stickers, JumboTron graphics, and in game announcements during/at the GTown game, we'll have to take the wait and see approach for that.
Just helped a good cause. I got two seats section 216 row y and z. Does anyone have any extra stickers
neat little video only 700 tickets before a sellout....wait waht is this? the top 10 weeknight attendence games at MU....this cannot be?! the two largest were not under Tommy Naismith?!?! Cant be MU did not draw before Crean!!!!!!!!!
Evry one listen MU basketball did not exist before Tom Cream, it did not. Isnt it funny that the vast amount of people that say this graduated in the last 2-3-4 years. No way the Big East people saw this we only got in becuase Crean was the coach. Wow ... UW an Cincy must of been really good that year and brought tens of thousands of their own fans, wasnt there like 50 Mu students at MU games before Crean?
Double post.

Can people please start proofreading posts. I can't even understand half of them anymore. Use the Marquette education you or your parents paid for.
sweet video. i'm sending a link to family. 702 tickets left!
Video is awesome. The team deserves our support. I have sent the link to some of my colleagues who say they are fans but never go to the games. I said "prove it". Let's get rid of these 540 tickets and the rest of the home slate.
To answer the question, the video and website are both updated to say "Number 1 UCONN"
Fantastic marketing!
The previous regime did a great job in this area, and it looks like MU is still looking to get better. (very important in my opinion)
I'm never naive enough to believe the "this will help recruiting" stuff... but this is an awesome promo video/website and would be great to share with prospective recruits. This is HIGH quality production that is better than most NBA stuff out there.

522 now. Good day for sales!
Had a friend today say "I want to go to the UConn game, but I don't think I can get tickets." I sent her the link and a message of "Better hurry."

Don't worry, I couldn't understand Mr. Hayward's post either.
But to answer it, to say MU basketball wasn't around or wasn't even worth paying attention to before Crean... words like that must come from those stupid FIBs that attended and had no idea MU had a basketball team until they got there. Those of us who grew up around here know the rich tradition MU has and why it was worth watching and following them

The term I was familiar with when I was going there was a "WISH." ;)
That video is seriously frickin cool. I wonder how much that little marketing campaign set them back. It's singularly great because of that video. Whatever they paid for that music was a steal.
Just did my part. 486 left. I absolutely cannot wait.
i posted the vid for your viewing pleasure.

be sure to click on the text below the counter that says "watch in high quality"
Overall a great idea.
Also, it looks like they updated it yesterday. It now says #1 Uconn on the video.
Is it just me, or does it seem like the selloutuconn.com website would be a great place to advertise for some kind of Gold Out
How awesome would it be if all 19,000 fans (fingers crossed) were wearing their market gold?

Next time, they could use this music.

Not sure the sellout shtick was needed to sell out this game 3 weeks away.

Good music, but done to death.
162 left for UCONN! Now let's work on the Johnnies and The Hall---would be nice to send Mr. Elmore and Coach Hurley a New York (and NJ) message.

I noticed that yesterday. Frankly, I was surpirsed that whoever had the good idea of selloutuconn.com didn't have the foresight to purchase all of the other BEast teams. That's not a lot of money to tie those up for a few years.

Did you buy 40? Because the site still says 90. It should be a great game; I wish I was close enought to attend.
update 54 left
Just checked on Ticketmaster and I couldn't get a pair together. It looks like only singles are available. Great work by MU on the marketing of this.

I bought 4 more for the heck of it...someone is always looking last minute
Now at 18!

With my Marquette education I learned to use proper punctuation when asking a rhetorical question and to not end my sentences with a preposition.
Would you please start proofreading
your posts?
Only 18 tickets left!
SOLD OUT! Great work Scoop!
