Anyone had any luck getting Ticketmaster up for the remaining games? Won’t load for me.

It is probably the heavy load on the system caused by "fans" looking for tickets to our upcoming games...

A-10 weighing move of men's hoops tournament from Brooklyn's Barclays Center to campus site, perhaps vcu, perhaps the University of Richmond. https://richmond.com/sports/college/richmond/a-10-weighing-move-of-mens-hoops-tournament-from-barclays-center-to-campus-site-perhaps/article_7077f7ca-7456-5697-8c24-eca4bd58be42.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share… via @RTDSports

vcu’s Siegel Center has emerged as an option for the A-10 men’s basketball tournament if the league determines it’s impractical to hold the championship at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center during the richmond.com

Seems to make sense. Having the tourney in a large arena is just plain dumb. Pandemic or no pandemic. Maybe Atlantic City.

“Fun filled activities celebrating academic excellence by showcasing our friendly neighbor schools ability to put a ball through the hoop against our will”

I may be using my nominations early in the year, but this post gets my second nomination for post of the year.

This perfectly describes our basketball program under Paulsen and Edwards.

“Fun filled activities celebrating academic excellence by showcasing our friendly neighbor schools ability to put a ball through the hoop against our will”

Can we also talk about followed by a postgame hugging session by the campfire? like

"Fun filled activities celebrating academic excellence by showing our family friendly neighbor schools ability to put a ball through the hoop against our will. Followed by a postgame hugging session by the campfire"

"Fun filled activities celebrating academic excellence by showing our friendly neighbor schools ability to put a ball through the hoop against our will. Followed by a postgame hugging session by the campfire joined by the players' family members, some of whom have traveled from as far away as Georgia to show their support."

I think we need to add some reference to displaying the basketball program's social justice views in there.

Saturday's game between vcu and Richmond has been postponed due to issues related to COVID-19, per release.

 

[GSII]

Why is GW playing in Fairfax?

 

[GMUgemini]

Why is GW playing in Fairfax?

To allow fans in the building maybe?

 

[Patriotsince81]

Why is GW playing in Fairfax?

Threat of riots in DC most likely.

Final: vcu 84 GW 77 Rams held a double-digit advantage almost the entire second half. Late run for GW fell just a bit short. Sloppy game with a combined 43 (!) turnovers. vcu now moves into a tie for 1st place with Richmond and St. Bonaventure at 3-1 in the A-10.

FINAL: SBU 68 FOR 54 An excellent first half from Fordham turns into a frustrating second half. SBU's Jaren Holmes finishes as the top scorer for both teams with 26 points.

https://atlantic10.com/news/2021/1/...l-championship-relocating-to-campus-site.aspx:

"NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – The Atlantic 10 Conference announced today that the 2021 Men’s Basketball Championship will be relocated from Barclays Center to the campus of an A-10 member institution. The decision to relocate the March championship is due to the current COVID-19 pandemic environment, and was made in agreement with BSE Global CEO John Abbamondi and Barclays Center. The championship is scheduled to return to the Brooklyn venue in 2023 and 2024.

Barclays Center has served as the conference championship home for six years (2013-2016, 2019-2020) and is scheduled to host the 2023 and 2024 championships. Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., was previously announced as the host of the 2022 championship."
