The moment Michigan State upset UConn, local fans starting snapping up tickets for the NCAA Championship Game. The lowest price available to get into the game has more than doubled, to just under $200 (ticket plus commission).  Given that most Spartan fans will be within driving distance of Ford Field, they get to avoid spending their money on hotels and airplanes, which is nice…

A search on FanSnap shows there are still over 2000 tickets available from eleven ticket companies, including Barry’s Tickets, eBay, Golden Tickets, Great Seats, Razorgator, StubHub, TicketNetwork, Ticket Solutions, Ticket Town, Totally Tickets, and TotalTickets.com.

Tickets are available everywhere from the first ten rows courtside to the “nosebleed section.”   I have seen Final Fours in the Alamodome and the Georgia Dome.  Watching the semifinals on TV, which set a record for attendance of over 70,000, it sure looked to me like Ford Field may be the most outstanding big college basketball venue in America.

Bring on Carolina!

Just two more games until “One Shining Moment.”  What an incredible weekend of play!

The Wildcats and the Spartans obviously didn’t care about selection committee seedings, as two #1’s bit the dust.  This is how championships are supposed to be settled.  Hopefully college football is paying attention.

The Final Four is set, with the semifinals next Saturday Apr 4:

Connecticut vs. Michigan State

North Carolina vs, Villanova

The winners play for the National Championship Monday night, Apr 6.  There are 2600 tickets available, starting at $130*

* Ticket search results as of 4:14PT, price equals ticket price + commission.

The “Elite Eight” has been set, with all four #1 seeds still on a collision course. Louisville and North Carolina have been devastating, perhaps bringing thoughts of adding a “mercy rule” to the tournament next year, as they dispatched their opponents with ease.

Who’s going to Detroit? The winners of these games:

East (Saturday in Boston)

1 Pittsburgh vs. 3 Villanova

Prices starting at $100/ticket*

West (Saturday in Glendale)

1 Connecticut vs. 3 Missouri

Prices starting at $60/ticket*

South (Sunday in Memphis)

1 North Carolina vs. 2 Oklahoma

Prices starting at $20/ticket*

Midwest (Sunday in Indianapolis)

1 Louisville vs. 2 Michigan State

Prices starting at $55/ticket*

These prices are the most affordable in years.  Can’t make it?  Then fire up those flat panels!

March Madness continues…  After the opening round, 65 becomes 16.

What a great weekend with lots of overtimes and last second finishes!  All the top seeds are still alive, and the action moves to Boston, Memphis, Indianapolis, and Glendale.  The Big East is playing huge.  This year’s Cinderella is Arizona, who is making the critics who said they didn’t deserve an invitation feel foolish. Let the regionals begin!

East (Thu & Sat in Boston)

1 Pittsburgh vs. 4 Xavier

2 Duke vs. 3 Villanova

West (Thu & Sat in Glendale)

1 Connecticut vs. 5 Purdue

2 Memphis vs. 3 Missouri

South (Fri & Sun in Memphis)

1 North Carolina vs. 4 Gonzaga

2 Oklahoma vs. 3 Syracuse

Midwest (Fri & Sun in Indianapolis)

1 Louisville vs. 12 Arizona

2 Michigan State vs. 3 Kansas

I hope your bracket is in better shape than mine!
