We've not demonstrated, this season at least, that there's too much need to buy tickets upstairs in advance. 

Looks like the bowl's pretty much sold.  With a goodly number upstairs already sold (600?).  They're selling AA, which always catches my attention.  Maybe I should try out EE one of these days.

Hopefully a good crowd!  Some of the families here visiting the university seemed aware of the game.

KC tweeted something about being frustrated a few hours ago. Nothing from PO regarding his status. For what that's worth.

Student section half full 30 min before tipoff. Very good sign.

Just checked the ticket site.  Can't get two together other then a few places in the corners of the lower bowl. Upstairs moving along well, particularly in CC. Twenty minutes till tip and of course some will be late!!

Upper deck comfortably full, not sardine level.

Row in front of us empty.

Sight lines slightly better in aa, over ee?

If we don't start limiting these TOs, we'll let GB stay in this game. 

oklahomamick

Green Bay playing much better than they did when we played last time. 

Wish refs would call the grabbing and hand checking.

Some sort of record for first half TOs and we still are in the lead.  I like our chances.  Good crowd!

Shooting quite well...BUT 14 TO's is outrageous.  Settle down and keep it going on D. 

oklahomamick

I hate to point the finger, but  some of the TO's are caused by the fouling that's going on every time we drive the lane.  Give credit to Green Bay D especially from the 10 minute mark on.

Valpo is forcing too many drives down the lane and the refs are not giving enough foul calls on those drives. I really wish the Crusaders would shoot some more open threes to open up the lane. If it weren't for two terrific acrobatic moves by two of the Valpo freshmen, Joseph and Skara, it would be a lot closer. I really hope we attempt more threes.

Sure, if they were open.  Let's face it, GB is the best defensive team we have played all year. alec has had one marginal shot.  That says it all.

Very physical game, not sure what the criteria is for getting a foul called.  Really surprised that a lot of people, even Todd don't understand the reason for some of the late foul calls.  Most college refs will wait for the outcome of a play before the make the foul call unless the foul is undisputed.  So if the contact causes a change in what the ref perceives to be the obvious outcome then the call is made.  Have had many of a conversation with the zebras concerning this "subjective" method.  Tonight, however, I think there have been a number of missed calls on both sides of the ball.  Players of this caliber do not suddenly lose control of the ball on the shot this many times unless the arm is hit or held.

This team is not very good at the entry pass.  Where are some of those KVW clear out a side and throw it over the top.

So, when we get 51 we're mathematically guaranteed to win.  That's how statistics work, right?

Might be a little home cooking happening.  I do think that Sykes has some legitimate beef on some of these no calls.

Not really.  But, based on previously stats, you should bet the mortgage on getting the win.  Or the 11 point lead.

This is exactly what happened in the YSU game.  GB chipping away at the big lead and keeping their cool.
