Everyone should bring a friend to the basketball games so that more people see the greatness of fun and maybe they'll get hooked too and then we can fill the Pit!!!  biggrin.gif

This was my first basketball game to attend since I graduated in 2000. I brought my wife and kid and we met BigRobDSP and his fiancee'. All in all it was a good time, but here's my one BIG complaint. WE got there right before tip off, and we went up to the ticket lady and asked for 4 lower level seats......she said we couldn't buy 4 lower level seats, because the Athletic Dept hadn't printed enough tickets, so she only had 3 lower level tickets left. At first I thought she meant the lower level was sold out, but she said No, they just didn't print enough. So Big Rob asked if we could pay for lower level seats and have her just give us upper level tickets, and she said no to that as well.

So we ended up paying $5 for the upper level and then moving over to the section right behind the visitor's bench. We explained our situation to the Event Staff and they let us move lower, but I just kept thinking that the Dept missed out on an extra $20 because they didn't print enough tickets.

Now - I'll climb down off my soap box.

Loved the game - we're going to try and make the rest of the home games.

really all she had to do was take the money. I wanted to pay the right price for the tickets but I didnt want to sit in the uper deck for no reason. I just dont see how they could have underestimated the attendance for that game. but the new directive should be that when you runn out of tickets you sign a peice of paper or somthing that you can charge full price for instead of charging me half the price for the good seat.

Glad "LOSTIN SPACE" finally went to a game. We do this a couple of times in many weeks. Quit "talking" about buying season tickets.. But them now. You can prorate the season tickets now. We need your purchase, and your keyster in the seat. This would also get your name on the list to be contacted in the summer for football as well as basketball tickets. Just Win Baby

Me and my wife went to the game vs. USA. We had a blast and this was my wife's first game of the year. I think this was my fourth. I've been thus far to: Baylor, Indiana, FIU, and now USA. Wow - that's a record, four games in one season. I broke my previous record of 2 games per year. That ups my GPY average to roughly 2.3 biggrin.gif

Mean Green basketball is just FUN! Men's or women's, each game has students screaming the entire length of the game, regardless of the score board. I've attended more basketall games this year alone than all high school games combined, because students actually will fight to be close to the floor, and if a ref makes a bad call, he'll know what we think about it. Tonight my 15 year old basketball fanatic brother will be at the game, because I've told him about the mean green, and hopefully in 3 years, he'll be an eagel too. Is it just me, or has attendance been increasing lately? For all those new comers, and especially the faithful ones who are there everytime, thanks for reviving and keeping the Green so Mean!

Bring your brother to the last two mens games. I imagine it will be a much better atmosphere.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
