2024-2025 Schedule Thread

Did you get those on your own or through Mason's allotment?

I was on the list for Mason's allotment, but the ticket office couldn't say where the tickets would be located because Duke hadn't told them yet (though I would imagine it is the same section for every OOC game...)

So I've been monitoring resale sites and found ones that were a really good deal and on the sideline instead of baseline - so pulled the trigger.

NEW ORLEANS — The Sun Belt Conference announced changes to its men’s and women’s basketball tournament brackets on Thursday, which will go into effect for the 2024-25 season.

While the league will continue to take all 14 members to the Sun Belt Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships and will maintain its seven-day tournament format, rest days will be eliminated from the postseason events.

In an effort to prioritize the value of the 18-game conference regular-season, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds will now receive byes to the tournament semifinals. The No. 3 and No. 4 seeds will maintain byes to the tournament quarterfinals, which had previously been given to the top four seeds.

With the elimination of rest days, higher-seeded teams will no longer face a lower-seeded team coming off a rest day.

“The new Sun Belt Basketball Championship brackets will reward our top seeds for their accomplishments during the regular season, ensuring they receive the advantage they’ve earned for their on-court performance,” said Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Keith Gill.

Women’s basketball tournament games will be contested during the morning sessions each day, with games tipping off primarily at 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Men’s basketball tournament games will be played during the evening sessions, with games scheduled primarily at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Interesting design, and I get that the bottom four teams deserve to be where they are, but having to play/win eight games to win the title, when the top two seeds can wrap it up with only two games/wins is just brutal!

i wonder why let the bottom 3 or 4 schools play?
now that the ACC is 17 teams they have moved to a 14 team post season tourney
i assume the bottom 3 still get their share
but that i at least 1 less day of travel expenses for the fans and the league

That hot take is

 

[GMUgemini]

Interesting discussion on 3 Bid League’s preseason hot take. Jim Root thinks we finish top 3, Tyler thinks we finish 10th. I wonder which of them will be closer to the truth?

Men’s Basketball Takes Down Seton Hall, 57-56 - Fordham University Athletics

With his team trailing by one in the waning seconds of the game, Jackie Johnson III sank a 17-foot running floater as the buzzer sounded, forever etching his name

fordhamsports.com

"With the win, Fordham knocked off a high-major opponent on the road for the first time since winning at Virginia, 62-60, on Dec. 7, 2005. The victory marked the Rams' first road win over a BIG EAST foe since taking down No. 24 St. John's, 68-67, on Dec. 9, 2000. Fordham had last defeated a team from a high-major league, Rutgers, on Dec. 8, 2018, at the Rose Hill Gym."

I wonder how many transfers Fordham has.

I wonder how many transfers Fordham has.

Not as many as us. I dont care what anyone else says I dont think it’s a sustainable model to need to replace 8, 9, 10 players every offseason especially at our level.

Depends on what you mean by sustainable. If you mean just being able to do it, it easily sustainable. Plenty of players available and willing to transfer.

The only thing I see getting in the way is if fan/booster support gets tired of the high turnover. I have heard anecdotal evidence of that, but, I have not seen any numbers that would back it up.

Have any of you heard anything at all about access to tickets to the Duke game through the Mason basketball ticket office?
