Hmmm so the 4 seed....
- Thread starter PU52Chevy
- Start date
I predict we're going to win the whole damn BTT thing. But maybe I'm looking too much into the future
....Baby steps so I don't catch hell.
Probably will get Iowa. That should be a really good test on a neutral court. They will want some revenge for the loss in Mackey.
I expect Purdue will end up getting the #5 seed in the quarterfinals, the most-hated rival.
If Nebraska would somehow upset Maryland this evening, they'd end up with a single bye as the 10 and get Indiana with Minnesota falling to the #12. Otherwise, Nebraska would be the #12 and play Penn State on the first day for the right to play Iowa.
Neutral Court/Full strength....now let's see how the Boilers fare. Chicago has generally been better for Purdue in the BTT.

So I am able to go to the game BUT cannot make it to the 1st game, Wisc and whoever. When you get tickets they are grouped as the two early games then the two late games right? So my buddy and I have to pay full price to only go the the purdue vs ??? game right? Then buy another ticket for the evening games right?
Am I correct about this?

Yes, that's correct.
However, the advantage to the double bye is that 6 teams will be eliminated by the day we play. Which means, many of those fans will be getting rid of their tickets. Conference tournaments are actually quasi-reverse psychology in that the championship game actually tends to have the least demand (granted, depending on certain opponents).
Also, it's an advantage that Purdue's playing in the daytime session, which will dampen demand vs. the night session.
Last, I would suggest rooting for Michigan to beat Illinois, which would keep the "hometown" crowd away for the Wisconsin game, keeping ticket prices lower.
I'd wait til after the tournament starts to buy your ticket on StubHub. The tickets on Ticketmaster for the session are behind the basket (granted you can get a low row) for $60. There are tickets on StubHub in the $50 range and better tickets available in the $60 range than what you can get on Ticketmaster. However, the first 2 levels are basically all the different school allotments, so there isn't much for sale there (which boosts ticket prices in those areas). Once schools start losing, there will be more inventory.
