BU press conference from Monday- The first part is Jim Les, then Sam M. and Dodie, then the last part is an interesting press conference by the head of the CIT--

Still good seats available.

Updated search for two seats, best available.......

$30 - Mezzanine, Section 13, Row WC

$25 - Mezzanine, Section 12, Row MZ1

$20 - Lower Bowl, Section 22, Row C

$14 - Upper Bowl, Section 1, Row 21

$9 - Upper Bowl, Section 1, Row 30

You can still get two $9 seats for the price of one until 4:30pm at the Shea ticket office. These are in upper bowl, side-court rows 23+ so you can probably get a little lower than row 30 by moving over a section or two from sections 1 and 13.

Some interesting notes at the end of this one.....

NFL star and former BU hoopster Marcus Pollard is planning to attend the game. Pollard was a senior at BU the only other time BU and ODU met on the basketball floor in the second round of the 1994 NIT. ... Financially, CIT organizer Joe Dwyer said the goal for the first-year tournament was to break even. ???I??™ve been told by the people doing the books that we??™re doing OK,??? he said. Each home team must pay the group $28,500 per game. That adds up to $427,500 to pay for officials and team travel expenses. Home teams keep their own gate receipts. ... Dwyer also said the hope for next year is to expand the 16-team tournament to 20 or 24 teams.
 
As I posted in another post, the FCS channels (there are 3- FCS Atlantic, Central, and Pacific) have previously appeared on DirecTV channels 617, 618, and 619. So if it's not on 617, check the other 2.

I have also been told from my sources that he will be put in the spotlight at some point during the game. Make sure you go to see when. It should definitely get the crowd going.

So now I hear that he will be doing a promotional event. They just wouldn't tell me which one yet. Hope he does well.

Lol I probably should have clarified that better. I meant that he will be on the court in the spotlight, not just like have the spotlight on him in his seat and on the video board. I just want to know which promotion it will be. My money is on the BWW shots since he is an athlete and the stadium would go nuts if he made all 3 shots. But I guess we will have to wait and see.

I never said I would turn down free pizza. I said I felt sorry that they were given Papa Johns as their freebie. IMO, that pizza is terrible. But trust me... I have had plenty of terrible pizza as I never turned down the freebies, but even when it was free, it was still terrible.
