BASKETBALL Make a day of it...Men at 1:30, Women at 7:00

MT vs ODU double header

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

Why would they have the men play at 1:30 when the game just ended, meanwhile the womens match up was decided at 2pm?

 

[sWiley]

seems like a hell of an advantage for ODU here.....

 

[RandallThomason]

TV dictates the start time I'm sure

 

[MightyRaider]

Hopefully the first round bye helps with fresher legs.

Nightlife
If you are looking for a night out in Birmingham, I'd recommend 2nd Avenue North, Uptown, or 5 Points South... see below. If you want to eat, shop, and catch a movie, The Summit is your best bet. Try Avondale if you want unique & local (or you wonder what a Southern hipster looks like).

Fine Dining
If you are looking to get reservations somewhere nice, look no further than James Beard Award & Iron Chef winner Chris Hastings' Hot & Hot Fish Club. Or try famous Southern chef Fran Stitt's Highlands Bar & Grill, a 5-time finalist for James Beard's National Restaurant of the Year... or his amazing Italian restaurant, Bottega.

Breakfast
Fuel up for a long day of hoops at some delicious breakfast spots:
Sol's Sandwich Shop & Deli - serving downtown B'ham since 1968
Trattoria Centrale - downtown pizza place that serves killer b'fast
Demitri's BBQ - Playboy named it one of the nation's best breakfast spots in 2014
Another Broken Egg - pricey but oh so worth it
Over Easy - another great option
The Original Pancake House - a favorite of UAB students
Waffle House - there are 2 downtown and like 20 in the B'ham metro... the 5 Points South location is where the UAB basketball team eats their pre-game breakfast
Big Bad Breakfast - at the edge of Birmingham, way down a congested Hwy 280, but the name says it all.

I ordered two for 37 each good for both men and women's games.

I got an email from the Blue Raider Athletics about ordering tickets

"
Get your duel CHAMPIONSHIP ticket now through MTSU - only $37. All tickets will be available for pick up at the Blue Raider ticket table, on the west entrance of Legacy Arena - purchase yours now!


There will also be a pep rally for each team beginning 1 hour and 45 mins prior to each team's tip off. Fans are encouraged to meet at the 19th Street entrance of Legacy Arena!"

 

[sWiley]

be loud and be proud guys - this is going to be one hell of a battle between two teams playing really good ball right now. i must say i really like our chances based on our performances from these last few games. Dropping a hundred on Marshall and running Charlotte out of the building in the second half is very encouraging. I know ODU is on fire too after beating a white hot WKU team but I think we take this one by double digits. I'm guessing we will be a 3 or 4 point favorite in Vegas and I'm taking MT.

how sweet it is to be playing in the championship game again....

a bitter wku fan on their non-haven board...

"Here comes the most boring cusa championship tourney game ever between two teams that are not even the most talented in the league but they surely are the best two coached teams given no depth and less overall talent."

 

[MTOleBlue]

I can't understand how someone can call ODU untalented. They have the best player in the league. Lol

 

[MTBig Blue]

And western fans should be used to seeing what a talent-deficient program looks like. They have had one in Bowling Green for the last 5 years.
