I am in Section 101! (Very top row of the section since I didn't get the All-Session pass and there were only a handful available in the section on T'Master. I know it's hard to meet people from this site at live games, but feel free to say hey if you see me - I'll be wearing red jersey #24 with either a black or red T underneath. Traveling solo since son has school. Very excited to experience this for the 1st time!
DC and Dub - I'll look out for you chaps. Tommy - we'll miss you!

Go BRAVES!

Don't tell anyone I told you, LB, I buy tickets and we stay in our seats because I attend with a bunch of family members. But if it's just yourself, or for a couple... there will be numerous open seats for each session, especially in the center section 103 (reserved for the sponsors who never attend the games) and in other sections. And the ushers there don't care if you get up once the game starts and move over to an open seat a little closer to the action or closer to other fans. In the rare case that somebody arrives late who has that seat, just move over a little.

Awesome! I will keep this in mind DC and will not mention you in the Lou!
I remember you alluding to this a few days ago about "seat hopping" at the Arch! ;)
I really want to sit with other BU fans!
 
Valpo shot 22 free throws to Ind. St. 4. The last play of the game Ind. St. player drove into the lane and appeared to be fouled attempting a shot but no foul was called and the game ended.
I hope we do not get screwed tonight like they did. Valpo for the most part just has players put their head down and drive and jump into defenders.

All game, that same type of play on a drive by Valpo was called a foul on Indiana State and accounts for all the free throws by Valpo. But with the game on the line, there was no call on the Valpo player when Indiana State had the final shot with a chance to win the game. It looked like there was contact by Tupuola, who blocked the shot, or by the trailing Valpo player.
Most coaches would have been livid, but to his credit, Matt Graves did not appear to argue the call.
Here was the play-

I had a Valparaiso fan sitting beside us and I told him they were lucky no foul was called. His comment was a good ref would never call a foul at the end of a game if the free thro2s could decide the game. All the more reason to call the foul

A good official does not fail to call a foul because it could possibly decide the game, a foul is a foul no matter when it was commited.

TC you are so right if it happens in the first 5 seconds of a game or the last you'd call it Score at the time means nothing.
