So it's safe to say at some point WSU disposed of those? Even the ones that were there before the new thing with the cool tables went in would be half decent. No clue. I would think that they would have kept them just so they had it if they need them

The last time we hosted in '07 the rule was also in place and the bleachers were constructed. Demand was so high that they caved in and let the WSU students have the end zone. ...and the bleachers at the other end. Anybody else remember standing in line at the Union box office at 4am to make sure you got a ticket? Brownell got a couple hundred donuts and handed them out personally to every student in line until he ran out. The line wrapped around the atrium and out past the parking services desk. I'm looking for that picture. I dont think that it was. Yes we had students in the 200 section, but we also had our normal student section. Butler Students/Fans were sitting in the corner behind their bench. I think the risers in 200 was more of trying to get as many fans as possible into the arena

I consider myself lucky that I got 3 hrs of sleep last night. I stayed up and watched the game again after Milwaukee won. I still couldn't believe what I just watched, I was just happy that we made it to the championship, I didn't think Milwaukee was going to pull that off. Tuesday night is going to be wild and it's not going to get here soon enough. Lets Go Raiders!

Anyone have the inside scoop... The sections that have been tarped off all season are not available seats. Any idea where the Milwaukee band is going to be (if they are coming) and what is going to be for UMW students since section 200 isn't a section anymore? Wife tells me tickets are going quick. ..good Sign glad ticket sales are going well... as for the student section: Based on the setup that we had for the 2010-11 season home tournament that we hosted game against Green Bay. WSU students will be in section 200, and Milwaukee students (if there are any) will have will have 212. For the 200 section they set up chairs on some risers... They would not let anybody in the 212 section because it was reserved for Green Bay students even though nobody was there so the section just sat empty. What I could see them doing, is flipping the benches so that WSU students and pep band will still be where we have been all year and put the Milwaukee band and cheer squads in section 200 where there isn't as much seating. In a nut shell, student sections have to sit on the same side as their teams bench.... I dont know when this rule changed because back in 2007 for the championship game Butler students were sitting in either 208 or 209 above the railing and our students were in their normal seats

It is exciting as heck the way this has come together. We are finally playing like the team we were supposed to be and gb going down is like an answer to prayer. Just could not have played out any better. I will be at the nutter around noon to get our tickets. But I am going to vent just one time about this. It losses me off that when the raiders win Tuesday, a really good team, playing really really well is going to land a 15 or 16 seed and be matched up with one of the top 5 or 6 teams in the country, all because we scheduled a scrappy schedule and followed that up by playing really poor bball for half the season. Ok, done with that. I wonder if we might play the first round here at ud?? I have tickets for those games. I'm pretty that we will not get one of those games. To my understanding those games go to the last 4 at-large and the 4 worst conference's tournament champions

It will be very physically and emotionally tough for Milwaukee to pull off another road win. Go Raiders! Couldn't ask for much more at this point... I think this night was about as close to perfect as you could get

My class is an actual game time conflict Ah, gotcha. Yeah that sucks As an alum of the 2007 HL title game student section, I have to question your commitment. I didn't go to class all day or the next morning. Reach for the stars, kids. Trust me, if we win on Tuesday I will not be in class on Wednesday. Unfortunately my Tuesday morning class I have to go to, there's no way around that one. If we do end up with the game at the Nutter Center I hope we can get that same student section from the '07 game. Great turnout and loud. I go back and watch that game all the time, everything about that game was perfect, the way we played, the crowd, the ending. Fun game to watch over and over again

yeah, wishful thinking. Either way I'm skipping my 2:00 class if the game is at WSU

Kiefer Sykes hobbling around all half, zero points. Alec Brown 2 points at the line. Milwaukee up 9 at the half. Looking good so far. If Sykes is done for the game, I like our (Milwaukee) chances. I would love to cut class on Tuesday Maybe we can get President Hopkins to cancel classes. Call it a snow day

alright I finally got the chance to get on here. I was nervously pacing back and forth for the last 3:30 of the game, and spent the last 10 trying to figure out if this is real or a dream.... But great game tonight! This is a true TEAM, amazing how we can pick anybody on the bench to go out there and get the job done. I know it may have been a lot to ask for just making it to the championship game, but if the basketball gods could do us a favor here and help Milwaukee win that would be great. Great win, back to back Horizon League Championship game appearances, lets finish this tournament the right way this year. GO RAIDERS!.... Oh yeah and go Milwaukee

loved the game tonight. Vest on lock down defense, Miles getting us out to a quick start, Sledge with 2 monster jams to put Oakland away. Great team effort tonight. Glad we was up enough to get guys some rest plus Davis and Howell playing time...
As for game #2 tonight, who is everybody cheering for here?
