I know..one of the biggest home games our most of our lifetimes is in 4 days. But basketball started last night and I wanted to post the road games to hopefully get some wheels turning about Rebel basketball because we are going to be very good. Beard mentioned last year how he wants to see us start traveling on road trips and we have a pretty solid slate if you're within 4 hours of Oxford--we probably play an hour or 2 away from you.
Tickets for all road games aren't on sale yet but I want to challenge our MBB fans to make an away game just like they would football. In FB, you need 10k fans, in basketball just 1k fans would feel like a near takeover. We had a great turnout in Starkville last year, at least 800 or so spread out and I think we can do that again.
Here are the 9 road games + Memphis:
12/28--- @ Mempis (nothing to add--beat Memphis State). You can sit lower level from $70: Memphis tickets--Wear RED
Jan 8 ----@ Ark (may be tough to make with ticket prices- $80 on SeatGeek- and FB ongoing or just finished?) Arky tickets--Wear POWDER
Jan 14--- @ Bama (midweek--if you're in Columbus, Meridian, Birmingham this is perfect..tickets are $15) Bama tickets--Wear POWDER
Jan 18--- @ MSU (nuff said--presale on their website starts 12/4 and the best thing to do is buy in packs of 4-8 as other Rebs will buy nearby) Hump Takeover--Wear POWDER
Jan 25 ---@ Mizzou (perfect for Missouri Rebs who haven't seen the football team in too long, even NWA Rebs may find it easier than getting into Bud Walton Arena--$50 will get you lower level) Mizzou tickets--Wear RED
Feb 8----@ LSU (perfect for Coast/Jackson/NOLA Rebs--$20 gets you in, $47 gets you lower level) LSU tickets--Wear RED
Feb 12--- @ USC (tough one but tickets will be cheaper midweek and I saw how Charlotte Rebs showed out in W-S and Columbia for football--$43 gets you lower level and $20 gets you in) South Carolina tickets--Wear POWDER
Feb 22 ---@ Vandy (this is one we could actually take over--1000s of Rebs in Nashville and tickets will be easy to get--$20 gets you in and $55 gets you directly behind the OM bench)
Vandy takeover--Wear RED
Feb 26--- @ Auburn (Birmingham/Montgomery/ATL, cheaper tickets b/c midweek--maybe, not yet though--$122 gets you in the door and $148 has you front row behind the students) Auburn tickets--Wear POWDER
Mar 8 ----@ Florida (tough one for many but easy for Orlando/Tampa Rebs, maybe save some $$ for SEC/NCAA Tourney--$30 gets you in and knowing UF, tickets will be cheap when the time comes) Florida tickets--Wear Red
