I’m gonna buy a bunch and scalp them. Then, retire.
Do you know they are not? Have any info here?
Or just more wallowing in self loath?

I just looked it's on Hawkeyesports.com. there's probably 11k left
I pretty much deal in facts. You should know that by now.
Of course nobody wants to end up in the NIT, but it's annoying when people refer to the winner of the tournament as the 69th best team in the country. There's a reason why the NCAA tournament is referred to as the Big Dance. It guarantees entrance for teams that would struggle mightily in a Power 5 conference.
That's a pet peeve of mine. Anyone who thinks the winner of the NIT is the 69th best team in the country is an idiot, plain and simple.
Looking at the ticketing page, the sideline seats are sold the first 20-25 rows. There will be walk up sales too. There will easily be 6,000+ in attendance. And they will all be around the court. It's not going to be a party atmosphere, but it'll be louder than most regular season games
Sad situation if it isn't more than half full.

In first grade or so, we did a class trip to Edinburgh Manor to sing Christmas carols to the residents. I was standing on the back riser during the show, I turned around mid-song and puked all over, lol. I waited out the rest of the field trip on the bus.
I get it "cool story bro". I just haven't heard anyone mention that place in quite some time.
Jimmy doesn't like misunderstandings. Jimmy and misunderstandings kinda clash.
And some that have struggled mightily in conferences much less than a “Power 5”…..who got hot/lucky at the right time…..
Heh heh, heh heh, he said "69," heh heh, heh heh
That is hilarious. I’m glad you put that out there. We used to live between Amber and Scotch Grove. About 2 miles from The Manor. We want to go back and take a tour. I’ll look for the vomit.
For reference, our 2012 NIT game vs. Dayton had over 13,000 tickets sold.
Sure I know where you're talking, my best friend grew up just outside of Amber.
You'll have to let me know if there's still a stain on the basement floor haha.
That was a great atmosphere. Almost felt bad for Dayton because they were the 2 seed and couldn't host because the first 4 is played in Dayton. I think Archie Miller called CHA a "bees nest" after the game.
Different time. Hawk fans were thirsty for any postseason play.
Naturally after dancing 7 of last 9 years fans are not as excited by NIT.
If we were playing kstate in December it would be a big non-conference tilt with a big crowd.
Ksu has had big recent success in dance. Power 5 opponent. Rare deal.

Well Dayton is our all time mortal enemy after cheap shotting Ronnie Lester when we would have likely won it all...
The Indiana St and Stony Brook games the following year had 15,400 (sold out). The second round game vs TCU in 2017 also sold out.
KSU coach Jerome Tang. I kinda wonder what his middle name is now, but the answer might be more disappointing than making the NIT.
Didn't some ghost hunters spend the night in the place a couple of years ago?
Looked at availability online, woof is all you can say. Hope it gets a bit better.
