Anyone plan on hitting a bar and watching the game? I am stuck at Presbyterian on Greenville all day (And night) and will probably break away and catch it somewhere around campus.

Where is the place to be!?!

Go Ponies!
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!

You're saying you expect a big crowd at East Carolina? Do they normally have good crowds?



They had 4,600 for UCF and I expect a big crowd today. I went on their website and checked out available tickets and there aren't many left. In my opinion they have the best fans in the conference since they never have a great team to support but they still support them.

Interesting. I know they have great attendance in football but I had no clue about basketball.

Their tickets range $10-$15 for every section. I'm curious as to why they would be so cheap and why there isn't tiered pricing.

They have 22,000 enrollment so they should be able to find 8,000 bodies

To be fair, if our enrollment was 22,000 and we sucked it would still be impossible to find 8,000 willing attendees.

ECU averaged about 4400 last year. so half full.

I tend to agree, but even in our sucky days we drew pretty well when Memphis came to town. Now we are the marquis team to watch so I bet they have a decent crowd.
