Well, if the second game is Sunday night, MAYBE some of the students will be back.

i have a feeling that if we didnt offer to pay for a home game we may not have been invited, but who cares. hopefully we can get 2 games out of this.

They aren't a majority of the fans, unfortunately. There's also a lot of local Manhatten fans.

Dear UAlbany Season Ticket Holders,

 

The UAlbany Men’s Basketball team will host Manhattan on Wednesday March 14th at 7:00. A few of you have already asked about ticket details for the game. The CIT Invitational uses a different ticketing platform than we are accustomed to so we are still working out some final details. An email will be sent out by 4:00 on Monday with full details for this game.

 

Thank you for your continued support, Go Great Danes!

 

 

Thank you,

Brian Rudolph

We draw about 1,000 more fans a game than Manhattan. I would think that would factor in to where the game would be played. I'm just happy for another home game. I'd like two in fact.

Congratulations on the post season invite--any post season is worthwhile and it's a credit to your fan base to get a home game. I'll be there, just haven't decided which side of the arena to sit in yet.

LOL, An LCC even thinking about moving to the good side for a game.

Are we ready for that? are you ready for that

I suspect not and you'll end up with your green buddies who are still playing

Has anyone heard anything on the status of Michael Alvarado for this game? I believe he missed the qfinal game against Siena because of a broken orbital (eye) bone. He's one of their best players..and probably a big reason why the Jaspers didn't advaance in the MAAC tournament.

Wikipedia CIT story with bracket

 

However the CIT site says "Note: The fourth annual CIT will once again use the old NIT model in which matchups in future rounds are determined by the results of the previous round." Does that mean they reseed every round?
