This may be a noob question, but how do we know who still has eligibility left? Obviously Kelly and Wood are graduates and have exhausted their time, but are Polite and Henry done with their eligibility? I see the program mentioning Kelly, Wood, Polite, and Henry, but what about Newton and Maddox, they're seniors as well. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, just trying to figure out who we're sending off before tomorrow's game.

Go to the pinned thread "2023-2024 Scholarship Chart" and go to the first post on page 1. It has a chart of current and future eligibility.

Jeepers that monster spider is scary. If I had arachnophobia I'd be triggered.

Be sure to bring a can of RAID to EBA on Saturday.

I checked out the infographic, but it doesn't quite answer the question of whether or not the seniors are electing to use their extra year of eligibility. There doesn't seem to be any promotions from the official channels for Maddox or Newton, would that imply that they're planning to exercise their extra year of eligibility, while Polite and Henry are choosing to graduate and move on from their college career?

This stuff is extremely fluid and decisions are most likely not fully made.

I will say we most likely will have closure within a week of the A10 tournament ending. Probably they meet with the staff to wrapup the year and decide whats next.

The portal doesn't open until March 18th and closes in mid-May. Questions will start being answered once each teams season is officially over.

Since the portal opens in 9 days, we'll start to know soon as to what the players' plans are.

Thanks for the info!

This does seem to make senior night a little screwy.

It’s definitely screwy until Covid years are done. There might be some calming down after that.

Anyone have a single ticket availble for today? If so, DM me.

Otherwise, see you all in rows X,Y, or Z.

I got in touch with Taylor at the ticket office. I believe there are more tickets available than are showing on Ticketmaster.

On this topic, anyone have 2x Gold Room passes they aren’t using today? Will pay.

At Banditos prior to game. Hope none of you guys are the dude that just flipped out because the bartender was gonna turn off Alabama and turn on St. Bona. Same game is on 2 tv's down buddy. Lol.

It is my belief and hope that he is not on this board.

He did at least say "Go Mason" after his mini-tantrum.

 

[JimP]

Also a bartender fail, as he can't seem to figure out the tv broadcasting "Hell's Kitchen."

Gotta do more than rely on threes, but UR looks big inside.

10 minutes left in first half and Hall hasn't come off the bench

 

[GMU79]

Baraka just put on an Allen Iverson move.
Dude is quick!

 

[jessej]

Hall has moved and is now sitting on the bench with the guys who are not part of the rotation

 

[GMU79]

Great team ball!!
