What channel will this game be on?

[GMG_Dallas]

Lost by 3 to ODU and 1 to LaTech this season. Even though we've lost many close games, I feel like we can hang with anybody in the conference. Let's make a run!

[Mean Green Matt]

Certainly a disappointing end to the regular season (for both teams) but there are still games to play. We need large, and more importantly loud crowds for both of our teams in frisco. 

[DeepGreen]

La Tech will certainly have a nice contingent attending the tournament.  That is, until we knock them out in the first round!

[Hunter Green]

I hope our fans are excited about this team. Yes, they stumbled down the stretch, but we're in the tournament. We haven't sniffed the tournament in years. And we're so young to boot. I'm optimistic about the future of this program.

NT didn't get into the tourney last year, that is the only CUSA tournament that they didn't qualify.   Getting into the tournament is not much of an accomplishment.   To not get in is very bad.  

Winning 1 out of the last 6 is certainly limping into tournament play.  I think it is a shame because I believe NT could have had a massive home court advantage with a little momentum.   I fear the NT crowd is going to be disappointing now.

Make it into the semifinals and that will change quickly.

Sadly, agree. That UTEP loss is just a soul crushing thud to end the regular season.  Hope I’m wrong about the NT contingent for the tourney. I’ll be there regardless.

YES.  Cross your fingers.

I agree, but will be there with bells on...the tournament is really exciting and the neutral court makes it almost anyone's game.

I won't be able to make the drive in for the tourney and I am really curious to hear what everyone thinks about The Star as the venue.  The seating configuration looks horrible.

Thanks to both of you, but my question is about the seats that are not the GA "football" seating but the seating on the court sidelines. can these be bought as singles?

EDIT: AND IM AN IDIOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOW ADDED THIS ON THE LINK

not to be negative, but he can just drive home and get another one if need be....  Seriously though, do we know if the team is even staying in Frisco?  Wouldn't it make just as much since to bus back to campus after each game and sleep in your own bed?

Would depend on the league's contract. Some sites require all teams to be on-site in a contracted hotel until eliminated. Other contracts don't have that provision. The preference of the coach and AD of course would matter as well.
