Any official updates to the start time of this game?

[Eli]

No update on time yet that I can find but I did find that its going to be on ESPN+. UA's site doesn't list a feed. Last year the UA site listed all of the feeds for the whole season from the get go.

[UAalum72]

WB on radio today. Said we should know game time later today.

Lulka may be back for the Yale game. JoJo's final clear date with the doctor is Dec. 11 if no setbacks, then get the rust off. Trey Hutcheson should get the brace off his finger by mid-December.

Nelson of American is a 20+ scorer, makes his teammates better, and they run a Princeton offense.

Was there any reflection on season so far?

Really hope they can find a way to make the game a night game instead of doing 10am. I would love to make at a UA sports day, but there is no way I can make a 10am start. I actually had the schedule of my 5th grade game set to 1030am so I could make the 1pm basketball game. No way to move that game now. I have to imagine that the attendance to the basketball game will suck at 10am, but you  never know. Might get some football fans going to the basketball game in the warmth instead of tailgating in the freezing cold.

Rumor has it that AU has a flight already booked back...so unless airline plays ball or we pony up the fees to move their flight...my guess is it's going to be an early game. Rumor has it that AU's website has the game at 10am.

[godanesgo99]

I don't know what our bid to host the game looks like, but let's say we bid $40k. That's 4000 fans at $10 each to the NCAA. My seats at $25 each. If American University has a group of 40 people flying, that would be $4,000 for the typical airline change fee of $100 a ticket. Assuming there is a later flight, seems like a no brainier to pay that for them. Hell, even adding $25 a head for a per diem meal, you are up to $5,000. 

If the average basketball seat is $10, you gotta imagine they would get 500 more fans to attend a night game than a 10am game. Maybe I'm wrong, but how much do they lose in gate receipts at 10am? Unless my thought of people going to the game instead of tailgating in the cold comes true.

Holiday weekend. Pretty nearly everything booked and full. Changing flights nearly impossible until Tuesday 12/3.

No, the NC$$ take is "the following minimum financial guarantees, which shall be 75% of the
estimated net receipts as submitted on the proposed budget:
First round – $30,000." This is why it's been claimed teams underreport attendance at playoffs.

Also "hosts’ budgets should include committee/site representative’s lodging expense, game officials’
lodging expenses, state and city taxes/fees"

Also 4000 seems optimistic unless CCSU brings 1500

Not much. Talked about playing 3 games in 44 hours.

Rodger said Hutcheson reminded him of Brian Lillis, Will said he's not as good a ballhandler yet, but he's learning.

Confirmed quotes in today's T-U - " I'm going to make a deal with (Hansen). For every two offensive rebounds he gets, I'll let him shoot a three."

and 

"I made a deal with him, too," Brown said of Healy. "I said, 'You dribble, you come out. You shoot, you'll stay in the whole game.' He's one of the best shooters in the country, and wants to show everybody he wants to be the next Curly Neal and tour with the Globetrotters. When he keeps things simple, he's an elite shooter, not a good shooter."

All true..TY

[Eli]

Was just told by someone in the ticketing department that the game has in fact been moved to 10AM. Thread title and info updated.

[alum73]

I've heard, if you have basketball parking and come for basketball, if you don't leave you can stay for football game.
