NAU @ U of A

Thursday, December 16th, 7:30 p.m.

Anyone going?

A U of A alum friend of mine was able to pick up a ticket in the student section that went on sale. Guess those tickets go on sale to the public when school isn't on.

ahh no, but I will for sure be listening to Mitch call the game on the radio!! 8) 8) 8) 8) Enjoy the game for the rest of us that can't be there

Close game - if Jones had gotten some calls in the lane, NAU would have taken it.

Last night was a blast. Crowd wasn't as big as I expected but school was out, the average Arizonan's aversion to letting a raindrop land on them came into play and many a U of A fans prior dismissal of NAU being a legit threat. That certainly wasn't the case.

U of A definitely had the more talented (quicker, bigger, better hops) group but til the end of the second half, NAU had the better (meaning playing cohesively as a unit) team. I have a feeling that this Lumberjacks team can do something this season. Talked to a few boosters behind NAU's bench. Good to see NAU students scattered through the crowd last night. Was that a handful of Jack Packers I saw taking pictures courtside early on and sitting in the upper deck during the game?

Frustrated to lose given the competition and the circumstances but I'm far from let down after that game. Fun night, Lumberjacks team and supporters. Look out Big Sky Conference.

I'll admit I do have one concern. If NAU doesn't watch out, U of A may take the "ASU" men's basketball route and not invite us over to play anymore.
