  • More thoughts: One thing that people don't seem to talk about is the sheer strenght of Mase and Torres. They both muscle the ball down low
  • People who were turned away were NOT happy. I'm sure they wanted to see the game... Plus it was COLD
  • Apparently it was such a hot ticket, New Ro police had to actually clear the campus before they let myself and two other media members in.
