CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina, which will play William & Mary in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday night, has cut ticket prices from $40 to $20. The change was made, team spokesman Steve Kirschner said, because of the lateness (9:30 p.m. tip) of the game.
It will be played at Carmichael Arena because of renovations to the Smith Center offices.
According to the UNC web site: Rams Club members may request tickets on Monday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
either through an online application on their Rams Club account or over
the phone at 800-722-4335. Rams Club members will be notified of what
tickets they receive by 8 p.m. on Monday. Any leftover tickets will go
on sale to the general public on Tuesday, March 16th, at 10 a.m.
Tickets are $20, a change made from the original $40 price because of
the game's late starting time.

Tue, 03/16/2010 - 14:46 — izzykareemWalmart Fans are all about the sales. Do they sell UNC tickets in Walmart, that way you guys could do all your shopping truly in one place.

Lil Izzy!
Tue, 03/16/2010 - 14:58 — Heels20Good to have you back. Will you be making the trip to South Florida? You're lucky because that's the only place in the south where skin tight shirts and hair gel are accepted. Maybe you can catch an episode of Jersey Shore right before you go.
"Just wait till basketball season..."
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 22:05 — HeHateMeTooIs all we heard after the Wolfpack gridders beat butch and the smurfs for the 3rd year in a row.... Is this really what we were waiting for? How underwhelming.
Um
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 23:11 — Heels20A. I don't remember seeing any one on here say that.
B. Basketball season produced 2 double digit wins over the Pack.
So what's your argument?

Mon, 03/15/2010 - 20:59 — Worz4UNCput your teeth in and then say that !!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 100% Tar Heel
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 20:00 — UNC1998but I don't know if I can bear any more of this. Besides, football (my favorite sport) starts spring practice today. I'm sure the N&O will be all over that. Lots and lots of coverage. I can't wait.
I can see it now:
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 23:14 — Heels20I'm with you
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 20:13 — unc098on this comment. I believe the Blue / White game is on April 10th. Its free and going to be televised as you probably already know. I will be there.
fuzzynuts!
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 17:38 — bluecat69bluecat69i am DUKE blue to the bone, i am in med school now at duke, and it is obvious u went to unc, u know the truth really hurts, ok,go duke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe you
Tue, 03/16/2010 - 19:49 — PuddentainI believe that you're enrolled in medical school at duke.
Lots of luck
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 19:07 — heelsno1The Blue Dabbles struggled against UVa, then Miami, then won by 4 over GT. Those were some really dominant wins over bottom-tier teams in the ACC. Slim chance that the Dookies make it to the Final 4. My bracket shows Nova!
Yet, Special K did look like a super rat on his knees patting his hands on the floor late in the game...just like he taught Wojo.
Nova
Tue, 03/16/2010 - 12:06 — SurferAgree, I've got Nova in the South as well. Actually, I had a hard time convincing myself that dook would beat Winthrop, my play-in winner. But since a #1 has never lost to a number #16, I put down dook. Wouldn't that be something though? That my friend, would end the bgnat posts.
Not a chance.
Tue, 03/16/2010 - 12:37 — JPDOhioRegarding your last sentence, of course. That would require common sense and at least a minimal capacity to be embarrassed.
Right
Tue, 03/16/2010 - 14:11 — SurferYou are probably right, but I am just thinking that, with little intellectual capacity exhibited, the constant mantra/dronning will cease to raise any further interest in his own mind. That is my hope, at least, at this point and of course that there is no affinity for the gridiron.
Prior posts
Wed, 03/17/2010 - 12:55 — SurferJPD, It is readily apparent that, based upon posts made since my original, and the lack of any specific directed posts, that a method of discussion exists as to cause confusion, lack of understanding, apathy, or all of the above. Not that there is any need to hold such discussion, but it does solidify the hypothesis of said intellectul capacity level.
I had to read this a few times to absorb it
Wed, 03/17/2010 - 14:36 — Heels20and I am in complete agreement in regards to your implications that intellectual conversation serves as troll pesticide for the specific creature you refer to. We shall call it...trollicide.

Wed, 03/17/2010 - 15:23 — JPDOhioI predict a bright future for both of you drafting tax legislation. Or health care reform.
Hilarious

I have no idea what you just said.
Wed, 03/17/2010 - 13:10 — JPDOhioBut I am pretty sure that I agree.

Mon, 03/15/2010 - 20:07 — unc098I am going to make a rare comment of your response to BC.
For those of us who have been on "board" for a while we have determined that BC is about 9 years old. He is not capable of anything other than bratty behavior in order to get attention. I haven't seen an intelligent comment yet from him and he seems incapable of discussing any topic. Lately those of us who frequent this forum have decided to ignore him. I suggest you do the same.

Tue, 03/16/2010 - 10:31 — melvinfurdYou're right - it's a wasted effort even (trying) to read the drivel he or she "writes".

OL ROY WAS IN FACT RIGHT!!
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 15:32 — bluecat69bluecat69JOHN WALL DID NOT FIT HIS LOSING SYSTEM, HE WAS A BETTER FIT FOR A WINNING TEAM, MAKES OL ROY LOOK LIKE A GENIUS??? GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!
John Wall..
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 20:40 — jeromfitzCan play for anyone USA practically and win enough to qualify for the NCAAs...He's like the real true game player that UNC just doesn't have the runners to shoot the guns with on the court this year like KY had. Ginyard kept his basketball shooting prowless in neutral when he doesn't recognize he's open. He pass the ball into a turnover...???? Thinkabout and forget about Lets start this final task of winning the NIT at least...Go Heels..!!!
jeromisfit!!
Wed, 03/17/2010 - 11:10 — bluecat69bluecat69not signing wall makes ol roy look dumb and stupid, thats bad! go duke!!!!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT IDEA!
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 15:31 — AgentPierceEXCELLENT idea unc098 ..... EXCELLENT IDEA!
I don't necessarily agree that "its still about the students" but public "demand" for this game will be non-existant. Heck .... lets the students in free or even pay'em $5 to show up.
Attend for Pay?
Tue, 03/16/2010 - 02:11 — LetsGoPittInteresting idea, AgentPierce. Kind of like a lab experiment: would a college student accept $5 to attend a UNC basketball game?
How about JUST ONCE they let
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 15:11 — unc098How about JUST ONCE they let the students have first choice of the tickets. As a life long Heels fan I abhor the system that is in place at the present. Money aside its still about the students. If you pack Carmichael with students I guarantee a Tar Heel victory.
Normally I would agree with
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 15:31 — mpheelsNormally I would agree with you 100%, but I had a wonderful view of the student seats all season from my seat two rows away from the ceiling - the risers and lower level student seats were rarely packed, even before the season turned sour. The current student ticket system is definitely flawed, but not so flawed as to justify the emtpy seats this year. The problem seems to be that the students don't want to make any effort to pack the seats.
mpheels
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 20:10 — unc098Would that be because of years of being shunted to the nose bleed section or having a token presence on the floor. I think the system is flawed and has been for many years. Price of success??? whose paying the price? I know I am soapboxing but I remember the exceptionally rowdy days in Carmichael and how the students and faculty ruled the place. I actually miss that place. I love going to the womens games there however and I envy the Cameron Crazies and their enthusiasm in THEIR building. As to this years apathy I can only think that it is a reflection of the attitude of the players.
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 15:29 — bluecat69bluecat69WHO IS STUPID ENOUGH TO PAY $20 TO SEE THE LOSING TARHOLES, PLAY BILL AND MARYLEE, THE NIT IS TRYING TO HELP THE LOSING HOLES WIN ONE BY HAVING IT IN CARMICHAEL. GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!
Bluecat69: Wow, you really
Mon, 03/15/2010 - 16:42 — FuzzcasterBluecat69: Wow, you really add a lot to the discussion. Too bad it's obvious you didn't go to Duke.
