Excited to see how far the team has come since they played in Athens.

Looks like DirecTV will have it on channel 7 if you receive Columbus local channels.

I am strongly considering. Would be leaving from Dublin around 4:30. Anyone in the same scenario want to ride-share?

I still need to buy a ticket - it looks like there are some seats in the 2A, and 2B - suggestions?

General Admission are the wooden bleachers on the three sides of the court. Sections 1A through 3B are chair backs. The first row are two are a little annoying because the railing for the walkway is right in your line of sight. Other than that, there's not a huge difference.

I'm not sure what (if any) plans there are for pre-game.

It's also LeBron James Bobble head doll night (yes he's in a Zips uniform) for the first 750 people in attendance. Not sure how that will skew attendance on a Tuesday though.

I opted for a bleacher seat. That way I can more easily locate myself among other green-clad patrons.

The bleachers at the JAR should be sponsored by the International Chiropractic Association.

We need to not let Johnson back our bigs down. Take the charge boys.

No Forsythe? That's significant. He may not be a team leader in minutes, points or boards but still, as a 6'10" or 11" senior who contributes big time methinks that helps OUr odds.

This just cracks me up. But hey, if Lebron identifies with the Zips then so be it....

I thought it was... interesting... as well. Its part of a set with his St. V team mates who went to Akron (Dru Joyce and Romeo Travis).

Totally agree. That kid is so big, once he gets going he can't stop to avoid the charge. If Forsythe is out, I'm not sure I wouldn't start Taylor against him and take Tony away from primary defense on him for about half the time he's in there.

I'll be there! Bought a couple GA tickets this morning. The push back to 8pm gives me enough time to get there from Pittsburgh.

Edit: If anyone still needs tickets, it's cheaper to call the Akron ticket office (1-888-992-5766) rather than ordering on TicketMaster. $30 for two GA tickets vs. $45.80 for two of them online.

In the past, the alumni association has always put on something at the Barley House. That's where my pops ('74) and I('03) are headed. BH is nothing swanky. If you are looking for something better, Yelp has good suggestions.
