I’m worried bc of the holiday and late tip time that we might have 12 fans there. These guys deserve our support. Tickets are cheap and traffic will be nonexistent!

I’ll be there with a Duke fan buddy. Hope to see you there, my purple kings and queens!

We'll be out of town. This has been a bad year for me so far in seeing the Cats play locally. I've missed several games and I don't like that, but life keeps getting in my way.

Huge fan and season ticket holder, live somewhat near uC. But thanksgiving at 930pm is just a ridiculous time to be playing a basketball game.
It really makes no sense. It’s not even like boxing where the lesser draws are the undercard for the main event. If you are coming for the Duke game, I doubt you are hanging around to midnight for this game. One or both of these teams are going to be sleepwalking. Crowd will be really light and the narrative of NU not drawing will be magnified.

Just a dumb, dumb, dumb scheduling idea. All I can imagine is that there is a mega-TV $$$s payout. Makes no sense otherwise. Jackson can do better.

Yeah it’s disappointing this isn’t a 6pm CT and 8:30pm CT doubleheader. Doesn’t make any sense but the first game is on big CBS and they have Chiefs/Cowboys so…

Im going and really looking forward to it. I've never seen Duke play which is a bonus. I go to a lot of concerts that start way later than 9:30. Never forget seeing Guns and Roses at Rosemont. They started at 11:11!!

There couldn’t have been more than 500 people for our game. It was stupid how it was organized. We should have been the undercard. That way it would have been packed at the end as the fans for the next game filtered in. Apparently Collins was told we would be the first game and then it must have changed. Why not 5/7:30 or 6/8:30? The former would have made the most sense for CBS coming off football…

CBS had NFL from 3:30-7:00 CT so they couldn't go earlier. And I'm assuming since they were only showing the Duke game they wanted assurances that it would start on time, which they couldn't get if the NU game went first.

So much for Chicagos Big Ten Team. They wouldn’t have punked Michigan or Illinois like this in Chicago but the Cats can still get no respect. Honestly it’s humiliating
