13 hours on a good driving day.

I'm still dumbfounded by this game and location. Worst part about this is that Wichita to Sioux Falls isn't that far, relatively speaking.

Tuesday afternoon game at 1:00? Has to be a first? Calling Matt Dillon.....

ESPN Tip-off marathon. We played Belmont a few years ago in our season opener in the afternoon. We also played Miami. I think that one started at 11pm.

The Miami game started after MNF ended to tip off the 24 hours of hoops.

I'll be there with my son (his first Tiger game). I'm in Minneapolis so it's about a 4 hour drive. The "arena" only seats 3,200 so at least the seats will be close to the court.

I'll be there wearing my Tigers hoodie for my first Tigers bball regular season game in years. 220 miles and 3 1/2 hrs from Mason City IA. Too bad the Tigers never play Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Mankato, or Iowa State or I'd be there as well. I get up to Minneapolis every so often to see the Grizz.

Got tickets for what looks like close to center court at row 7.

which I thought was awesome idea until about 12:30

I've been there on business, I think I stayed at the casino.

Looks like I'll be working from home that afternoon.

Did you get tickets from the arena or though the University ticket office?

Through the arena the day they went on sale a couple months ago. I should've gotten them through the university, but it just didn't occur to me. I think my single ticket cost about $60. I know they still have some seats available, at what price I don't know.

Here's the court. I'm 7 rows up. Looks like I won't be needing my binoculars, lol. A real good deal:
