Gotta love it!!! Like those of us who love high school hoops NEED an excuse to go to the Convo to watch basketball BUT to have 2 teams in 2 divisions making it to the Elite 8 in their respective divisions to go support Saturday in the SE District Regional Finals - priceless !!! Just got back to Logan after watching Fairfield Union play one of the best defensive games I've seen played in a long time - might be right behind the FU defensive effort vs New Lexington Tuesday night ... I smiled the entire game tonight - great game by BOTH teams - a better game by FU ...

Best of Luck to BOTH TEAMS Saturday !!! pfloyd will be there! might even be courtside as I was tonight at the scorers table ...

Both have an uphill battle, but not impossible.

South Point needs to dictate the pace like they did in the 2nd half against NA and Fairfield Union has to bring that same defense and also stay out of trouble

Both teams should be super proud of where they are, but also not satisfied yet.

Courtside?!?!?! What happened to the cheap seats? Must be nice to know the voice of Basketball :30.

Glad they put you in the high roller seats as our champion of SE District basketball. Should be some great games to end two weeks at the Convo this weekend, pfloyd! Enjoy!

Hate to be that guy, but does anybody know if they going to clear Convo tomorrow between the 3 games or is one ticket good for all day? Thanks*

They are clearing after each game. One positive (or maybe negative) is that spring break started today for OU, so uptown may be a little easier to navigate than a typical Saturday afternoon at OU.

formerfc: That’s the plan...kids heard “D1 teams” and “future Buckeye”, so we staying for at least 2 games. I was actually hoping for Bishop Ready/FU to be middle game as I know some guys from Ready I’d like to catch up with. Don’t know if kids will be up for 8 hour day at Convo though!*
