Fresno plays at UGA tomorrow night in the opening round of the NIT.
There's plenty of seats left right now, good ones too.
Including the same section we had for women's season tickets behind the visitors bench, as well as the floor section (aka about the first 6-8 rows) on the opposite side of the court.
My question is basically whether Fresno has much of a chance to pull the upset on the road? That'd be worth paying to see & my son is on spring break this week so we could do a father-son tournament game thing (we've got GT-BC baseball coming up Friday & wrestling on Saturday, and he just got home from a couple of days of historic battlefield stuff w/ my wife, so it's not like there isn't stuff already going on this week).
By the same token I can't think of much that'd be worse than having to endure a UGA win at home surrounded by some of the most consistently obnoxious fans I've ever encountered, people who seem stunned at the very notion that someone would buy a ticket & cheer for the visitors. Last time we were there I was on my best fan behavior, only cheering my team & avoiding ragging on them (and with a player returning from an alcohol suspension the opportunity was definitely there) and still ended up with two nasty confrontations & nearly ended up having to deck some 60 y/o who had the misfortune of being married to an idiotic shrew.
So, if you're more familiar with Fresno than I am (which would take damned little), should I consider going or just skip it?
