They're 15 bucks + tax and fees on ticketmaster. You're 5 rows from the court and if you want to move up no one is going to check your tickets. just buy online.

It's like Dan Dakich never seen a fan with a colored wig on. 

Talked to Dakich for 10m he is a complete jag.

I was at the game last night sitting courtside for quarters 2,3 4(lucky me).

It was an absolute blast. It was a little unorganized in the first couple quarters but MU was able to get it going in 4Q. The refs basically let these guys beat the living crap out of each other, so it's like playground ball. You can tell these guys, on both teams, really want to win. You can hear everything these guys are saying the court as well - which is fun. Diener came down the court right before Jamil's game-winner and looked at my group and said "ball game".

It was my first time going and I highly suggest any MU fans in town on Sunday make the trek (tickets are cheap and well worh the price, $25 all in). "WE ARE MARQUETTE" was loud and proud last night. Players are very receptive to talking to fans post-game too. Dapped up Derrick and let Blackledge know that one-handed slam was siiiiick. I truly think these guys appreciate all the MU fans at the game.

Can anyone explain the player rotations?

Why is McNeal on the bench and not playing?

Why did Jake Thomas not play last night, after playing a lot in Wichita?

Same in reverse for Deiner (not playing in Wichita and playing last night)?

[Galway Eagle]

Could the we are Marquette chants be heard on tv?

[MU82]

Enjoyed the game.

Jamil was a man among boys. If he had played like that in 2013-14, we might have survived having the worst backcourt in modern MU history.

Could the we are Marquette chants be heard on tv?

Yes.

[Heisenberg]

Could the we are Marquette chants be heard on tv?

Yes!! It was great

It was an interesting game to watch. It's not college, not pro, and more organized than playground though with a lot of that physicality. Jamil playing a big role for the team. Travis surprisingly effective for his age. Rowsey cold as ice but appears to be getting ignored at times. He still can't play defense. Derrick Wilson's defense still solid as can be.Those referee shirts with the big REF on the back are amusing.

Not sure why they would schedule the next games on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Chicago. That's going to hurt attendance.

I am pretty sure they did not have access to a reliable weather forecast at the time the games were scheduled. It could have just as easily been 95 degrees with 90% humidity, and then it would have been a brilliant move.

McNeal didn't play because he either didn't want to or wasn't eligible for some reason.

Jake didn't play because it was a close game and Diener is like 400000000 times better

Diener wasn't on the roster as a player last week. To busy drinking beer

McNeal was hurt....might still not be 100%...or maybe he is just rusty
Thomas was needed in Wichita to provide depth.....now we have Travis.....
Travis wasn't with the team in Wichita ....3 games in 3 days was too much for him at his age he said.

Everybody doesn't get to play.......this isn't CYO ball.....2 million on the line.

[4everwarriors]

So who is the scooper that was featured on camera wearing the bright yellow wig?

Pretty sure dat wuz Ma and Pa, hey?

[BCHoopster]

To a person that went to the game, how many people do you think were there?

Don't feel like doing the math, but they only sold seats along one sideline, lower deck only.  It was maybe 2/3 sold.  Not everyone was there for both games, though.

[MUUWUWM]

Who is the wonky eyed weirdo that takes pictures for Dodds board?
He is on the sideline.

I'lll bet its Uncle John, a great poster and even better person....who the heck are you.

If it works differently at St. Norberts let us know.

I remember dropping bombs on the old Mike Juno site. I was the COO of a GE company in Tokyo so my missives would arrive overnight.

That guy deduced from the GE server I was on that I was the third shift dude sitting a panel at a utility in the northeast. It was beyond his comprehension that some MU alums could be expats in other time zones.

Uncle John was the mouth-breathing prototype for the non-meat eating booger-eaters who dominate the narrative on both the Dodds site and Scoop.

They'll be on the court in front of the sections.

What section will marquette be behind?

I went with tickets in 106 hoping that Marquette picks the same bench as Thursday night.  They are a 1 seed and hopefully superstitious.

As to the rotation question, Chapman has it figured out perfectly.  Our starting lineup has tons of offense so adding Derrick who is a great rebounder for his size plus a lock down defender at this level is absolutely the correct move.  Rowsey was 'off' last night but was instant offense for the second unit in Kansas.  It's important that MU continue to successfully spread the floor as it opens driving lanes for Dwight.  We've got enough shooters to do that. 

One more thing.  Guys with legit NBA chops understand the game and the physicality at this level.  On our team, that's Jamil, Dwight and Travis.  This is the first year that all 3 have played together.  Our chances of winning this whole thing have improved significantly as a result.  And lastly, those of you that chose to complain about our non-MU guys can eat it.  Cook and Charlo in particular have been outstanding.  No eligible MU big could have provided what they have.  I watched Davante try 2 years ago in Peoria.
