Hofstra vs Villanova - 12/22/17 (Nassau Coliseum)

[Hofstra]

Makes it seem as if the game isn't selling well.

[stuball888]

I think they already sold over 8,000 tix

[hualum]

Haven't bought tix yet. But I am taking my 16 yr old.
Mike and Mad Dog didn't just do the show from the Mack. They BROADCAST the game and did play by play on WFAN of the game.
I was there. If you look REALLY carefully you can see me in the court storming

What is your prediction on the attendance Stu ?? I say 9500

[HofstraMathew]

I wonder if they aren't selling a lot of the upper level because on ticketmaster it is only showing probably under 1500 seats available. So if we are going by paid attendance and capacity is 13,500 then it seems 12,000 have been sold unless they have sections closed off which is definitely possible.

[Cards]

From all that I have seen, looks like upper level behind benches are being sold, but looks like upper level on the opposite side is not available (like they are not being sold - hopefully they are not already booked by Nova students

Got my tix a little while ago. Mid level seats even with the FT line. Not terribly cheap but not bad either - much cheaper than what they were a few days ago.

Like to see a really strong turnout increasing the possibility of future games at Coliseum against name opponents...I will be there with my son

[Jojogunne]

If Wofford can upset UNC, I guess there's hope for us:

Knowing Jay Wright I'm sure he will include that in his pre-game preparations and talk.

Agreed. Planning to bring my two brothers. Hoping the seat prices drop a bit so I’m not in the upper deck.

Villanova is a 22 point favorite according to ESPN. Spread is up a couple of points since the Manhattan loss.

Surprise, surprise no mention of the HU/VU game tonight in the Newsday. The only mention of this game is the spread VU 20 1/2 favorite and I actually pay money to get this paper!

[stuball888]

[stuball888]

triple C who is our contact with newsday. there is no excuse for this

[HUSID74]

Newsday did a two page spread last Sunday, primarily on Jay Wright but lots of good Hofstra stuff...we can't expect miracles!

Saw that HUSID - it was a nice article.

Been a long time since I've been to a HU MBB game that was either sold out (at the Mack) or very well attended (anywhere else). I am really looking forward to tonight's game. I love the buzz and excitement. With lots of fans attending, I hope it doesn't feel like a Nova home game. Hopefully its lots of general basketball fans that are coming to see a number 1 team but they will root for the local underdog.

Guys have to play in the moment - forget last game, forget last five games, forget CAA starts soon, forget the last half, the last rebound, the last time down court, and the last shot. Play every opportunity, every set, every shot like its the only one that matters! Play up to your capabilities, play tough, and stay focused - and you will be rewarded (maybe not a W, but at least a solid performance).

[HUSID74]

Cards I agree...lets live for this moment...play tough have some fun and put a scare in #1 if only for a few minutes...My fear is that it will be a heavy Villanova crowd...Anecdotally hearing from quite a few friends/acquaintances who are Villanova folks and they are planning on going.
