Curiously, at that site we have either 5 v 12 or 4 v 13 match-ups for all of the first games.

Omaha also does this with its two four-team mini-tourneys having two of each 2v15 and 7v10 games.

I guess that this is a product of the pod system.

Since the Rose Garden is about 10 minutes from where I currently am sitting at work I wanted to go and burn a day of vacation and watch some basketball. However, when I tried to get tickets I was blown away at the costs. Over $200 for a ticket in some halfway decent seats, I couldn't believe it. However, the last time they were in Portland 3 years ago the place was sold out so I'm not surprised the prices stayed the same. So with that in mind I think I'll watch them on TV during an 'extended' break at work.

My employer has a skybox at the Rose Garden but not suprisingly they are not allowing the worker bees in on that.

I will probably still check out craig's list or stubhub close to the gametime to see if they have dropped in price at all.....
