Huskers.com: Tickets Going at Brisk Pace for Husker-Niner NIT Matchup

[/QUOTE]

If I didn’t already know better, that headline eliminates all doubt as to the venue for this game.

Hopefully, someday the Niners will give Mike P. the reason to use the words: tickets, brisk, pace and Niners all in the same sentence.

ETA: 6,800 already exceeds the average announced attendance at Halton this year. It was 7,112 for all home games and 6,741 for games at Halton.

:lmao: the one guy said “What do you know about them?” The other answered “Well, they don’t like to be called UNC Charlotte, they are just Charlotte.” :thumbsup: But, they can’t pronounce Lee’s name… Not a bad little show.

If I read that right, Lee will become the 3 leader with 6 more baskets from long range. 2 more pts and he’s 5th in single-season scoring. Wow. Lee is on the verge oof moving up on a lot of lists in 1 or 2 more games.
