Planning to drive to the St. Joe's game but tickets not yet on sale they any Bucknell. When I try thru St. Joe's there appear to not be many seats...and it is $53 ea for an upper level seat. That seems high for a St. Joe's game...where are other people getting their tickets?

St. Joes has not yet put single game tickets up for sale. What you are seeing is St. Joes' official ticket scalping site (Vivid Seats) - where a few of their season ticket-holders are trying to sell their tickets to selected games at a big profit. Single game tickets, once they go on sale, will be much cheaper.

Makes sense. I saw that Vicid was the secondary ticket source but for some reason I thought maybe tickets were already sold out...which wouldn't make sense. I will wait to get tickets.

I see that the Maryland game (11/18) is being shown on the Big 10 Network, but the time is still TBD:

http://www.umterps.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OE...

I was all ready to drive down to College Park, meet my older son who would take the train up from DC, and go to the game, but my aunt just scheduled an extended family Thanksgiving Dinner on 11/18. I need to explain the "family events scheduling rules" to my extended family: 1. Check the Bucknell Basketball Schedule, 2. there is nothing else.
New season, new team, new dream . . .

I'm hoping it's a late afternoon our evening game so I can catch it on my way back to PA from the UNC game.

Ever since the renovation of Alumni Hall, St. Joe's tickets have been notoriously high-priced, as least by A10 standards. For example,I believe that upper sideline seats this year are going for $420 plus a mandatory athletic fund donation of $200. Given that this year's home schedule appears to be 13 games, that works out to be just under $48 per game. Upper baseline works out to be just over $25. As you imply, it remains to be seen what a single game ticket will be.

btw, the Hawks were picked to finish third by A10 coaches and ADs.

FWIW, the upper sideline seats on their re-sale site are being offered for $62 per game, as opposed to the "face value" of $48. I would expect tickets for Bucknell to be less in demand - at least from St. Joes fans - than most of the A-10 games.

Big 5 games tend to be the most in demand at all Philly schools other than Nova who draws well for all games. I wish that they would go back to playing all Big 5 games in the Palestra.

That's a shame for them, then, as the Bison might be better than any A10 team the Hawks will face.

You forgot to mention who was 2nd in the poll - your Bonnies. If SBU is going to have a big year, it seems like this has to be it. I think their three returning seniors - Adams, Mobley, and Taqqee - played a higher pct of total minutes than any trio in the country last year. Big falloff next year?

Should be a very interesting exhibition. Towson is picked for 2nd in the CAA, behind only Charleston, and returns almost everyone from a team that won 20 games last year.

Boston U, btw, is playing a similar charity exhibition at Vermont.

One other comment. I am 98% sure that the game with Towson was already a scheduled closed scrimmage. Now converted to an official exhibition game with official rules, a scoreboard, and spectators. As many of you know, the NCAA recently changed its rules for at least this year to allow a team to play an extra exhibition game and to allow one exhibition game between two D1 teams - something that previously was not allowed. Has to be a charity event.

I wonder if there will be a webcast of the exhibition game.

Tomorrow 10/22. I think that is a 3rd scrimmage that only got scheduled in the last few days. I believe the original two scrimmages were Towson next weekend and Penn the following weekend. With the new NCAA edict about playing a 3rd exhibition for charity, they were able to schedule another team.

Arguably North Carolina's best player, PG Joel Berry, is going to miss 4 weeks with a broken hand according to Jon Rothstein.

https://twitter.com/jonrothstein/status/9 224978690...

The Bucknell game vs UNC is just over 3 weeks away so I'm assuming he'll miss that game.
