Lord have mercy....the people sitting in the end zone seats in that stadium are about a mile away from the play on the court. That's a TERRIBLE arena for basketball. Couldn't the WAC come up with a better arena/stadium than that? Hell, old Memorial Gym on Tech's campus is better than that.

No one will have to sit in the endzone...probably. Or, if they get tix for the endzone, shortly after the game starts, I'm sure they can find sidelines seats not being used.

Back "in the day" of the Sugar Bowl Basketball Tourney held in the Dome (1970's) we would go and had to sit in the Terrace a couple of times. Saw the Ernie and Bernie Show vs. Magic Johnson (that's Tennessee vs. Michigan State, in case some of you didn't know). Even sitting in the first rows of the Terrace required binoculars!

Or....maybe I'm confusing my years. Anyway! one session an NCAA record for MBB was set in attendance.

Wish I could be in Vegas, regardless. After I retire some day, I'll have the time to travel and follow Tech more on the road.

I think I read somewhere that all tix are General Admission, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

The CenturyTel Center has a very similar setup.

[Kiwi Techster]

The WCC is currently having their tournament at the same arena if anyone cares. ESPN is carrying a Santa Clara/St. Mary's game on TV right now (currently at HT)

[Kiwi Techster]

The configuration looks different. Neither set of endzone seats is nearly as far away as they are in that picture.

just left vegas and left behind some of that good louisiana juju at the Orleans (and the mgm sports book) for our ladies. they'll be fine.

Does anyone know when the Techsters fly out and if they are leaving from Shreveport or Monroe? Is there a send off for them in Ruston?

I know they are leaving on the 9th but no idea about when nor from where.

There is much truth in Kipling's Law of the Jungle, where he says, "The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack."

Techsters discipline yourself toward team effort under the supervision of your coach and you will be amazed at how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the credit!

Whatever you have accomplished, you still have more to accomplish. Whatever you have done, you still have more to do !! Prepare yourself to the best of your ability and put all your talents to work for your team. Remember that hard work --great effort-- and good luck travel together!!!! NEVER BE SATISFIED !!!

Go complete and take what you have worked so hard for all season--TAKE THE WAC TOURNAMENT and BRING THE TROPHY BACK TO LA TECH WHERE IT BELONGS!!!

GO TECHSTERS!!!!!!!!!

Just found out they leave at 3:30am. Doubt there will be a sendoff lol

Okay, thanks for info Kiwi Techster! Too early for me!
