I was at the game only paid 25 bucks for tix. 50 to 55 dollars is stretch for college ball. You can get good Timberwolves tix for that snd see pros. I think you sell the more expensive seats at 39 to 42 bucks and you sell a bunch more. As the team gets better then you increase. The parking and 20 to 25 seats are great value. Fans will come back once they see team is fun to watch again.
100% it would have been a major mistake to schedule any different.
I don't the last time you went to the Wolves, but I haven't seen good tix for $55. And, the second deck at Target Center is awful. The entire upper deck at Williams is pretty good with the overhang and elevated seats, and they were available for $20 last night. Earlier in year Big Ten games were more expensive, I agree. People may have not even checked.
Earlier in season you could get lower deck seats during week off seat geek for this. Not so much anymore that is hot ticket. Upper deck at Target center does blow, Couple times paid 23 bucks for Wolves, it was bad view and obstructed by all the people going up and down stairs. You get people to want to come back then they will pop for the 50 to 55 bucks. Helps team is playing well again. Glad the team and coach doing well.
Probably Step mom, I thought the F U Battle chants were a little over the top even with his antics last game.
You can't let go of the idiotic delusion that there is only one team playing in a basketball game. That everything is totally under their control if they will only concentrate and do things right.
Thought Battle played well, but between Jamison and Dawson, Garcia is my choice. Better rounded game. Going to rebound better, guard better, drive better, get to the line more often. Battle will shoot outside the arc better.
Yeah the FU chant was definitely over the top, that is Wisconsin level stupidity that our students usually avoid. Was fun joining the chorus of boos everytime Battle touched the ball, impressive that the crowd kept it up all game.
Good. Glad we got under her skin. I booed the shit out of that turncoat all game. People can judge me by that action, and I'll judge her by her action.
I'm not a "booer", but I had no problem with that last night.
Gawwwddd!!!!!We sunk his
He hugged most of the Gopher players and the coaches. Looked like no hard feelings.
Yep, both the Gophers players and Battle were all business last night. There were no shenanigans that I saw throughout the game. Only thing I noticed once was Battle & Garcia having quick seemingly harmless discussion.
I had no problem with the booing, but the FU chants was a bad look. However, Jamison did decide to transfer in conference and wrong or not, negative chants were going to be part of the game. Miller Kopp got the same treatment when he transfered from NW to Indiana and from what I observed, NW fans were worse, signs and all.
Not surprising really, I am sure there is not a lot of animosity between Battle and the players/coaches. Battle did what he felt he needed to and in the end it was probably best for both sides since he wouldn't have fit well with this current Gopher team anyway.
I would agree with you however in this case I believe it was started before the final 3 minutes. None the less a real good win for MN!!!
Johnson said from the get go he wanted the team to be physical and tough. He finally has that this year.
Hawkins is an 80%+ FT shooter, not 100%. He is going to miss from time to time.
No drama at all. He actually had a couple of big hugs for his ex teammates. There is still a lot of love there for their old friend.
May have started slightly before because they were down 17, but it is still the end of game press vs what a team would do for the entire game. Two very different things.
Battle is a scorer first and foremost. He doesn't bring a whole lot else to the table, but he has a nice stroke and given his size, he can get it off with ease.
I was wondering the same thing about Chatman’s thoughtsYeah the FU chant was definitely over the top, that is Wisconsin level stupidity that our students usually avoid. Was fun joining the chorus of boos everytime Battle touched the ball, impressive that the crowd kept it up all game.
Too Battle's credit he had an amazing game shooting the ball and was really the only reason that Ohio State didn't get blown out of the gym last night.
On a somewhat related note - wonder if Taison Chatman had any moments last night where he wished he was playing for the other side
Hawkins and Garcia outscored Battle.
Free throw totals get helped a lot when you are winning big and teams have to foul to try and get back into it
