I cannot make it to the UT game, but if we win I should be at the KSU and any subsequent games.

Why 5:30...wish it were the late game.

I cannot make it, either. I work until 5:30 and will be at the Q late tomorrow night for the women's game.

At least WKNR broadcasts all the games so I can catch the tip off as I leave the office and listen to the game without being glued to the computer.

BEAT TOLEDO!!!!!!!!!!!

Sirius is broadcasting the games as well. I am not sure whose feed they will carry.

I do recall a lot of the games being on TV last year. I think they were on FSN Ohio, but I'm not sure.

First round game will not be, all Thursday-Saturday games are on FSNO.

Didn't someone mention (Drew, I think?) that ESPN360 will have all of the games available online for free? I'm going to try and make it down, but damn do I not remember the tickets being so expensive for the men's side.

Update: ESPN360 only appears to be carrying the games on FSN. You can purchase the first round games for both men and women for $19.95 or just the BG/Toledo game for $7.95 at www.mac-sports.com .

The ticket prices look pretty close to what they were last time I went up there. I still think they're a great value. Especially for you living in the area getting the entire tournament is a really good deal.

The place that they become pricey is if you're looking at it as just going to see the BG game. The tickets are for the session, so you actually get 2 games for the price, but if you don't look at it that way, yeah they are pretty pricey.

There were a few years that I bought tickets to the entire tournament, which is a very good value, and then just stayed downtown. It's a blast to watch all the games, then party at the Winking Lizard...

What does a ticket for the whole tournament cost, and does it include both the men's and women's games? I'm just having a hard time convincing myself to pay $48 for two games, only one of which I have any interest in seeing.

The most expensive tickets ($48) are $144 if you buy the full tournament package. For 15 basketball games I think that's a phenomenal deal. Again, though, if you're only interested in the BG games you're probably not going to enjoy it as much. I did it for a couple years with a couple buddies and we had a great time, but we enjoyed the basketball whether BG was involved or not.

Looking on the MAC website I cannot find any packages including the women's games, but they used to have a discounted package that would get you both tournaments

I would say if you're interested, rather than order online call the Q box office and see if they offer any sorts of deals.
