***CORRECTION*** Sorry guys, I'm going to have to take back this info. Apparently they've renumbered the sections when they renovated the arena. The numbers don't line up the same as they used to.

**DISREGARD THE FOLLOWING INFO. THE SECTION NUMBERS AT THE ARENA HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE ARENA RENOVATION** Since we're conference champs, we will always be the higher seed/home team. According to the info I have from 2016-17 and previous years that means sections 126/127/C126/C127 for Thursday and all others I THINK. 107/108 would be across from our bench, but assigned to the lower seed in the second game. I've used this as a guide over the years to buy tickets near our section on my own at times. At one time the info was available on line, but in recent years you needed a password to access the tournament manual. It hasn't changed much in recent years. I notice the arena website doesn't have a color coded seating chart by cost of seat posted yet, if they're going to do so.

Brimfield leads 40-31 at half.

Anybody seen anything yet about a BOGO Ohio Lottery ticket promotion again this year? They seem to keep it under wraps until tournament week some years. I have seen the Hops and Hoops promos.

Four of the first six games are on the road and half the home games are basically in November. It certainly does not bode well for a good start and decent attendance, not that it wasn't going to be a challenge anyway.

The latest:

Say goodnight Gracie. Time to shuffle off to Buffalo.

15 feet may be an over projection prediction. ?

You've been able to in past years. I used to have men's and women's season tickets and would give my women's tickets to someone else and use my men's tickets for both.

I like going to doubleheaders, especially when the women's games are first. I just wish the starting times were a little closer together. 1 and 4 makes for a l-o-n-g afternoon.

The latest from the MAC for your viewing pleasure.

Nothing but stupid there.

Just posted on FB by the MAC. (Of course by the end of the year all the teams will have played the same number of games)

Reghi just said that Dylan Frye has left the BGSU program ?

Bad defense tonight. Zips getting beat off the dribble a lot.

Just like the headline in the ABJ for the Ball State game when it said we were playing the Bulls. Nobody proofreads any more.

He's not lying.

No, Miami was a candidate too until OU creamed them in the MAC Semis. CMU lost to Mich St by a point in the first round of the NCAA last year. Buffalo beat Rutgers in the first round and gave UConn a run for their money in the second, but lost. 2018 NCAA was when CMU and Buffalo made the Sweet 16. (Just so you're straight ?) I've really enjoyed following the MAC women in recent years.

As I recall he hurt his back and didn't play much the second half of the season. He looked to be a mini Big Dog. He looks a lot different these days having dropped about 30 lbs.

OU didn't make the dance, but did win 3 games in the WNIT. Tough to win right away with 5 or 6 new recruits and losing 5 seniors. I hope there is a consistent point guard among them.

Made me smile. I haven't rooted a bit for Shaka since the NCAA tourney game in Detroit.

Disappointing doubleheader today as the women also lose, to 0-4 Northern Illinois 70-65. Ladies have lost all 3 home games and are 1-4 in a 3 way tie for next to last place in the MAC. Hopefully they can turn it around soon before they dig themselves deeper.

I just saw a Facebook post that they are giving away 500 Rachel Tecca bobbleheads at the women's game Saturday. The caveat is you can pick up a voucher when the doors open for the men's game at 1 pm, but have to wait until the start of the second quarter of the women's game to get the bobblehead. I guess the strategy is to make people stay for some of the women's game (or come early for the men's game ?), but considering the start of the 2Q probably won't be until 5 pm or so I wonder how many people who are not big women's team fans will just say the heck with it.
