2023-24 Basketball Season: Hopes, Dreams, Wishes and Analysis

[HoopsAdmin]

It was talked about on Giant Killers’ podcast interview with Skinn. I think they said October 14? Which would be the day after Madness if true.

One of those guys could clarify if I’m wrong.

I think you are correct. I heard the 14th.

 

[Patriotsince81]

I need clarification. Open practice is the 14th? Time? Is the exhibition against St. Thomas on the 23rd open to public? I have heard yes and no. Inquiring minds need to know. FYI, West Virginia's schedule page says our scrimmage/exhibition on the 27th will be on ESPN+. I have done threads for both, just need to know whether or not to post.

Exhibitions are always open to the public as far as I know, can’t imagine why this would be any different.

 

[Verdad]

Both exhibitions are open to the public. I’m looking into making the trip to Morgantown

are they ticketed? or free? or a $5 or $10 mandatory donation?

Ticketed, if I had to guess

 

[jessej]

Ticketed, if I had to guess

I was thinking the same thing
wasn't the exhibition game against Div III Johns Hopkins a ticketed game - but at a much lower cost than regular season games?

 

[Patriotsince81]

This is one complaint I have about Mason. This type of information should have been communicated by now.

 

[DRK331]

I agree, they should've posted it by now.

Aside from Mason basketball, I also follow Duke basketball. If this was Duke, they already would've posted it on all of their social media the same day they got the info.

Mason on the other hand? Still quiet.

 

[gmutom]

This is one complaint I have about Mason. This type of information should have been communicated by now.

My sources said they were going to have a meeting to discuss problems with apathy and procrastination, but half of the people didn't show up and the others were over 30 minutes late.

This I believe!

 

[GMUgemini]

This is one complaint I have about Mason. This type of information should have been communicated by now.

Well, WVU is hosting it and there is no link to purchase tickets to the event on their website (all of their home games have ticket links). So my guess is it’s unticketed and you’ll be hit up for a donation at the door.

#6 St. Joe's

2023-24 Atlantic 10 Team Preview: Saint Joseph's

6. Saint Joseph’s Hawks Last Season: After two and a half seasons of injuries, Hawk enthusiasts whined to bring back Phil Martelli, and almost indirectly called for the AD’s resignation. That’s not to say that the transition post-Martelli has been smooth, but 2022-23 was certainly a step in the...

#5 Duquesne

2023-24 Atlantic 10 Team Preview: Duquesne

5. Duquesne Dukes Last Season: The 2021-22 season was equivalent to ordering fried chicken but you end up getting fried bats (shoutout Anchorman 2). The Dukes injuries completely took away momentum from 2019-20 — on top of losing most of their core guys to the portal — Keith Dambrot had to...

#4 vcu

2023-24 Atlantic 10 Team Preview: VCU

4. Virginia Commonwealth Rams Last Season: It took a little longer than some would have liked, but Mike Rhoades captured the first A-10 title for vcu since 2015. Was this vcu team as good as Shaka’s adieu in 2015? Probably not. But they boasted one hell of a group: Brandon Johns Jr. and Jalen...

expect an email sometime before 9 am on Friday, October 13

Cannot even transfer the tickets for that game apparently Mason has not released that tickets yet even though the tickets come up on the APP.

That’s a Ticketmaster thing most likely, although I agree it sucks.

yeah not sure why this isn’t out there yet. Someone needs to call and ask the ticket office or send an email to someone, although that’s their job. We shouldn’t need to ask.
