UNO Basketball 2016-17

Post by Greg S »

I see where they've lowered their prices for season tickets. You can now get season tickets starting at $99. I thought they were a bit high last year. I am a UNO hockey season ticket holder, might have to add basketball tickets at that price.

The letter I received with my renewal said they want to make UNO BBall the most affordable entertainment option in town.

Makes sense. $150 was way too high last year at Baxter. UNO got it's own arena and raised prices by 52%. That didn't seem right at all.

Great win for UNO, granted Iowa doesn't have anyone outside of Jok, but this is a huge win! I love seeing Iowa as the worst team in the Big 10 at 3-5.

Nice 9 pt halftime deficit comeback win against Cal St. Fullerton in a non-conference rematch.

I get that UNO is relatively new to the D1 atmosphere, but that was a fun game to watch last night, hope more people hop on the UNO train, they play a fun brand of basketball.

I think the tickets are priced better this year too. I have not been yet but plan on going to some games soon.

It will be tough to win in what's essentially a SDSU home game. Can't wait. Would love to see UNO in the dance.

What happens if UNO gets into the Tourney and gets a Tournament win? Would the PBA in Lincoln implode on itself and be sent into another dimension?

Great game to watch, but I thought UNO could have gotten better shots on their last 2 possessions. They played great D but just couldn't stop Daum. SDSU also shot 13-14 from the line, with their only miss being the one with 9 seconds on the clock.

My exact thoughts. Omaha's last two possessions where horrible. They had this road game...
