Come down to SSU today and checkout a full day of great basketball! If you can't make it down you can also watch the games live streamed on DaCast, the channel is Bickeye elite event management. So come and support all our local teams.

What are they charging for the day? Looks like a good day of hoops. Good luck to the area teams!

They are clearing the gym after each game and tickets are $7 for each game

Don't see how they will have tie to clear the gym after every game they are only 2 hours apart lol

Time

Absolutely asinine to clear the gym. Hate to see it, but things like this won't go in scioto county pulling crap like that.

Demanding $42 to watch a slate of six games is pretty ridiculous, especially during the holiday season. Hoop fans have been exposed to far better deals, and quite frankly better values.

Can anyone confirm that they are clearing the gym? This will be the dumbest thing they ever do 'I heard they are wanting to hold this tournament every year but if this happens they wont be back next year,,,people can see these teams twice a week for 5 bucks a game

They would've made more by charging $7-$10 for the whole day. You would've had more of the "other fans" like myself. I bet clearing the gym has kept many from attending. Does ANYONE agree with clearing?

I posted thats what there doing I have been here all day...

I am here ....you can still get a great seat absolutely no one here!

If they are in fact clearing the gym between games, they better plan on getting better teams in next year if they want to make this a yearly event. I would have been interested in maybe 2 of those games, but laugh at the thought of dropping almost $30 for me and my boy to attend, even for those 2 games.

Billy Hoyle: agreed...$10-12 with the option of attending and reentering for the WHOLE day would be reasonable.*
