if the other lower seeded team were to win (Marisol), we would play them at home this Friday.

My wife and I have tickets to the Josh Groban concert (no homo) that is at the RBC at, you guessed it, this Friday @ 9:00pm.

the question is, would the concert be moved?

the bigger question is, how can I get out of going to this concert to watch the Pack?

^ WE KNOW.

IT'S A RUNNING JOKE

3/13/2007 9:11:05 PM

reynolds ftw

3/13/2007 9:11:31 PM

[inside joke]

3/13/2007 9:11:37 PM

oooh reynolds

3/13/2007 9:11:49 PM

easy, Josh Groban will be a walk on and serve as an extra body...score 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and have 5 personal fouls

3/13/2007 9:12:27 PM

i'd let somebody rip off 3 of my fingernails with rusty pliers for a ticket to an NIT game at Reynolds


i shit you not

3/13/2007 9:12:57 PM

first of all OK State may win the whole tourney and i doubt they lose

2nd...Groban will take precedence and we may go Reynolds...hell yea

3/13/2007 9:13:30 PM

WELL MY WIFE SAYS THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THEY ARE CANCELLING JOSH GROBAN...

BUT THEN FOLLOWS IT UP WITH...."IF THEY DO, CAN YOU GET US TICKETS TO THE GAME?"


SHE'S DA BOMB

3/13/2007 9:14:58 PM

if it's at reynolds I will find a way to get to that game

3/13/2007 9:15:21 PM

if it's at Reynolds, I'm hiding in the men's bathroom Friday afternoon and sneaking to an empty seat right before tip-off

3/13/2007 9:16:39 PM

haha

3/13/2007 9:17:02 PM

HA!

I JUST CALLED MY BOY WHO WORKS FOR THE RBC...

GAME WOULD BE AT REYNOLDS!!!

3/13/2007 9:17:28 PM

oh my god that would be this fucking shit

GO MARIST

3/13/2007 9:18:04 PM

The NIT does not play at the higher seed. mostly. The home team is determined by bids that each school puts in. The bid has alot to do with who can host games on what days, how mnay tickets you can sell, things like that.

So no, we will not be hosting the next round even if the lower seed wins. The possibility is there for us to host the third round game. Fourth round moves to Madison Square Garden so we have one more shot at a home game for this season!


GO PACK!


^^ Did your boy just say the game would be at Reynolds or did he just say it won't be at RBC. The athletic dept. told us sunday night after we lost to carolina the earliest we could host based on our bid was third round..

one down:
tickets sold is a minor part of it. most of it has to do with dates available and travel dates and stuff.


[Edited on March 13, 2007 at 9:22 PM. Reason : one down]

3/13/2007 9:19:19 PM

i CAN PROMISE YOU THAT NCSU WOULD SELL MORE TICKETS THAN MARIST, NO MATTER THE VENUE.

THE GAME WILL BE AT REYNOLDS IF THEY WIN TONIGHT

3/13/2007 9:20:46 PM

i'll buy 20 tickets myself

3/13/2007 9:21:55 PM

^^^thought that was the way that the NIT used to be not how it was now that the NCAA is running it

[Edited on March 13, 2007 at 9:22 PM. Reason : ]

3/13/2007 9:22:37 PM

^ yep thats right

3/13/2007 9:23:59 PM

look at http://www.nit.org/sports/m-nit/sched/nit-m-nit-sched.html . if state had no chance to host then it would say NC State at OK state/Marist

3/13/2007 9:24:00 PM

I'm adding it down here so yall see it.

tickets sold is a MINOR part. drexel's arena is like 1/10 the size of ours. It mostly has to do with availability

3/13/2007 9:27:50 PM

well. my boy said the game would be at reynolds and that his team had already discussed the possibility. I confess, he works concessions for events at the RBC, but they have to plan for these things.

It would be a complete crockif we werent given a home game as the higher seed. I dont not believe that is allowed in the new format of NIT play.

3/13/2007 9:32:26 PM

idk whether or not we could host . . . but even if we could, we don't have anywhere to play

concert in the RBC center
Gymnstics meet in Reynolds per:

3/13/2007 9:33:33 PM

Gymnastics meet would be kicked to the curb.

3/13/2007 9:34:24 PM

nc state basketball >>>>>>>> gymnastics.

3/13/2007 9:34:42 PM

make gymnastics earlier is my guess.

3/13/2007 9:35:20 PM

The gymnastics meet with it's MASSIVE crowds couldn't possibly be held anywhere else though!!!

3/13/2007 9:35:43 PM

I DO KNOW THAT THE GYMNASTICS TEAM WOULD BEND OVER BACKWARDS FOR BASKETBALL!!

3/13/2007 9:35:47 PM

I'm a cheerleader and what they told us is we won't host till the third round.....

So we've both been told something different...... Big supprise eh? We'll see.

side convo to throw into the discussion.... NC State is a host for the first and second round women's NCAA i wonder if that has any bearing on us being able to host NIT in the first couple of rounds while RBC is set up for NCAA's

[Edited on March 13, 2007 at 9:36 PM. Reason : .]

3/13/2007 9:36:01 PM

they keep saying over and over that the higher seed gets first option for the home game in this tournament, so whatever that guy just posted about "bidding" is bullshit.

3/13/2007 9:36:05 PM

^^ hmmm.

3/13/2007 9:37:08 PM

^ like i said about three times already, I'm just repeating what the media office for the basketball team/athletic dept. told us....

you all very well may be correct

3/13/2007 9:37:40 PM

Hah, if they DO have a home game in Reynolds the increased merchandise sales at the game and bookstore would probably pay for a few more scholarships.

3/13/2007 9:38:53 PM

WELL FUCK I hope so.

we sure would be getting dicked over if it's incorrect.

then again, we are likely going to Oklahoma, so it doesnt really matter anyway.

3/13/2007 9:39:56 PM

any thoughts on whether or not hosting women's NCAA has anything do with it?

At first thought i would say no as long as they can work out a time, but after more thought maybe??

3/13/2007 9:41:28 PM

no what has a lot to do with it is that both venues where the game could be held will be in use that night

[Edited on March 13, 2007 at 9:43 PM. Reason : .]

3/13/2007 9:42:44 PM

they might have said that on the assumption that OK State will route Marist...

3/13/2007 9:47:05 PM

SIDNEY LOWE BACK AT REYNOLDS!

Ya think that is a worthy enough occasion to wear the Red Blazer again?

it's possible


^ I think the Red blazer would be better off being reserved for ACC games.

3/13/2007 9:52:30 PM

^ but reynolds for a postseason tourney would be a special occasion...

3/13/2007 9:55:45 PM

yeah it'd probably be at Reynolds..

go marist plz

3/13/2007 9:57:20 PM

37-26 Marist at Half
