If they're flying out of Dulles, they can use the Greenway over from Rte 15 in Leesburg without coming all the way down to the Beltway. Saves a bit of time. Unless they are flying Southwest out of BWI.

I see that the pregame reception has been set up at the Tucson Marriott. Any lucky ones planning on going to the game?

I used to travel to Tucson all the time for work. There are indeed very few direct flights and I often flew in or out of Phoenix and drove the interstate -- it's an easy drive. FWIW, I like Tucson better than Phoenix. Wish I could make the trip. And I'm glad Derrick Williams is now playing for my Timberwolves and no longer at U of AZ.

Bison Fans,
I'll be at the game tomorrow but need tickets. I would like to sit in the Bison section. Any idea where I can get tickets. The Arizona website doesn't give me an option to select the location.

I'd imagine getting home will be an adventure without a charter. Hopefully the team has enough confidence not to have booked a return flight for Thursday (I'd imagine if they win, they will stay out west for the Nevada or ORU game), which means should they lose, they will be looking for last second open seats back home...

Anyone know the history of #8 seeds vs. #1 seeds in the NIT? I know the current NIT format hasn't existed very long, but I was just curious if anyone knows how many 8s have pulled the upset...

looks like the board is running up the vote tally for the bison upset.

It's amazing that the Patriot League has five postseason basketball games. The American women were undefeated in regular season but upset in the tourney by Navy. They face Villanova in the WNIT while Navy drew Maryland in the first round of the NCAAs. Here's hoping that one of these five teams can pull off an upset (would the American men beating Buffalo be an upset?). Go Bison!

Yes, I'll be there, along with a friend who flew in from DC. GORGEOUS weather here in Tucson. I'll keep my eye out for you, BisonKid.

Just spoke to the Arizon ticket office. The Bucknell allotment of tickets is sold out. Not sure if Bucknell purchased all of its tickets or whether tickets were returned and bought by Cat fans. In any event, over 7000 tickets were sold for tonight's game, which is an impressive showing. Probably one of the largest NIT crowds (except the American game of course  )

NIT First Round - Arizona Game

In response to bison63
Tucson is a tough place to fly to from NYC, let alone the Harrisburg area. Flights are not that frequent, and from most places they involve stops or changes. Wash to Phoenix probably makes sense. from there a 90 minute drive to Tucson. Nice place, great for golfers.
I had incorrect info in my original post. Team actually caught a 10AM nonstop flight yesterday directly to Tucson. I'd guess they landed shortly after noon Arizona time.

The only flight would have been on Southwest from BWI, 10:09 departure and 11:29 arrival local time

Great effort. Makes me wish they played this well last Wednesday, but that's a nice consolation. I thought they were in big trouble after the joke foul-out call on Moose.
So are they just going to stay out there if they have to go to Nevada next?

NIT First Round - Arizona Game

What an amazing win! Cohen has to sit out the last 5 minutes or so of the 1st half and we maintain a 6 point lead. Muscala fouls out with 3 minutes left in the game and others step up. All in all it's just a fantastic win guys!
Now I can rest a little bit easier cheering on Lehigh Friday night since we got at least one post-season win this year...
