The Official '07-'08 Schedule

Ticket revenue vs. Ticket Usage.

but with the improved competition I don't think that selling them will be a problem...

i was just referring to that selling tickets isnt the problem...getting people who buy those tickets in the seats is the problem. Stupid technology. Should be, if u are going to buy a ticket...buy it at the gate. Shoot I'd even buy a ticket to basketball games if there was 90% filled seats for the season.

Sorry...just ranting.

[unigriff]

its a 7,000 seat arena...it really shouldnt be that hard even on a SATURDAY...to fill that thing up...

I was checking out the BasketballTravelers website and it looks as though the UNI tournament has been taken off of the 'Need a Game?' website. That means that the tourney is most likely now full, and that third team should be announced sometime soon. I'll try to find out some more information regarding that third team.

PTTB, how sure are you of the date for the Nevada game, Dec. 22? My wife and I are looking into flying back to Iowa, as well as a couple other options, at Christmas time, and that would be a bonus that might push our trip in that direction. Thanks in advance for any help.

It was stated in our paper. I'm pretty sure that is a go, since it was posted in the paper.

This is going to be a fun exciting season for UNI. From Thailand in August to the NCAAs in March. Throw in a home tournament, Iowa for the first time in the Mac and Nevada and BB home games and this should be the most fun Ive had watching UNI basketball!

Wow, it must be nice to have an athletic department that releases information and a paper that reports it when it is released.

Thanks for the heads up, and chances are pretty good I'll see you at the McLeod Center on December 22.

Meanwhile, UMass needs three more games. They have a a one-way road game at Syracuse (the Orange won't return), travel to Boston College in an annual home-and-home series and are at Northern Iowa's tournament with Northern Illinois and Cal Poly.
-------------------------------------------------

UMass, Cal Poly, and Northern Illinois are the three teams coming to UNI for the early November tourney. UMass finished last season 23-8 (2nd in the A-10---61 RPI) and Cal Poly was 19-11 (2nd in the Big West---140 RPI). This is going to be a very entertaining tourney.

Nice addition for the tourney. Balanced with east and west coast teams. NIU is the only weak team there, weren't real strong last year and have a new coach. I am assuming we will open with them, which will be game three? I'll guess UMass. Best option might be to open with Cal Poly, then play NIU, and finish with UMass. Might allow us to rest starters more the second game, if we play as we should.

Khan-
If I were a betting man, I would bet on that scenario (Cal Poly, NIU, UMass) being the rotation.

It looks as though the non-conference schedule has been finalized (see the original post in this thread). If you are from out of the area, the weekend of November 9-11 should be your homecoming. 3 men's basketball games, plus a home football game. Should be a great weekend.
