First off, congrats to the Illini for making it to the Final Four! What a game last weekend, followed up by plenty of drinking and celebration.
The question I need to figure out now, is whether or not I want to try and make a pilgrimage to St. Louis in hopes of finding tickets. I'm discouraged by the high eBay prices for really crappy seats. I know that in years past, people have gone down and gotten decent tickets (for a decent price) outside of the arena before the game, but with the number of Illinois fans (due to the proximity to Champaign), I am concerned with my ability to get tickets. Perhaps I should just find a bar with a really big tv and run up a big bar tab--I bet it would still be cheaper than going down there and getting tickets...
I need to figure this out soon as Tedd and I were going to fly down (assuming the weather is decent)...
