    I'm gonna try to go only to see Jacob Tucker <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jEgcml1Wx1w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Its gonna be my first time going to this type of event but I think its a once in a lifetime thing since the final four don't come along too often. I wanted to see the Butler game but the tickets is a little steep. The contest will be at the Hofheinz Pavilion at 6:30 and tickets are 15 bucks for those of you wondering. I might be on TV baby!!!!

    tickets are extremely limited though. only 10,000 tickets available in a city as big as houston. it may be too late but try asap.

    why did none of you inform me that Chuck was one of the judges??

    Now I have to record the dumb thing for later! ;) I did get to see Tucker's last dunk to clinch though.

    Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the Bracket town crap instead of this because of what you said!!! And I came home to watch it and it wasn't really that pack. But after watching it Tucker dunks was nice, but I guess you have to be there to see it, but the dunks he did wasn't as good as in his video.

    Sorry man. When I bought the tickets they said they were limited. I figured a much better turn out. The dunks were crazy in person though, sorry i steered you wrong. You still should have looked online!

    Don't sweat it man. I got to somewhat help my dad out fix the lawn mower and I got my own basketball card from bracket town so its all good. But for anyone who wants to know, Bracket town is such a waste of 10 dollars and that's not including parking. Yeah they have a couple of hoops to shot around in but its basically people like At&t and stuff pushing their products. This stuff should be free. And they were charging 8 bucks for nachos. You kidding me? They did have some hot chicks working there though.

    the place wasn't packed.... i wanted a specific section and couldn't order it online so I called them up and the guy got me tickets where I wanted.

    The only thing annoying was that so many kids running around and etc.... atleast the ones by me, the parents brought like 10 kids and just left them and did there own thing....

    I had a good time, but the announcer was annoying and I'm pretty sure he messed up some of the 3 pt shooters timing... and the whomever was controlling the clock.... needs to get fired! ....it was horrible... lol

    For example, announcer guy talking and building up the next contestant and then you look at the clock and it already started, and in the stands your like wtf they already started shooting...

    But overall it was fun.

    Anyone find it odd that chuck hayes was a judge? I mean, dude has dunked maybe once this entire season in game. Hardly an authoritative figure. Should have got chase or t-will to judge. And why was Karl Malone there? Shouldn't he be banished from ever stepping foot in Houston?

    Yeah, I was there too. It wasnt packed at all. Lol I got there, parked literally on the street in front of the arena...bought my tickets at the box, and walked in with no problem.

    The announcer was an idiot.... "You can touch the ball but you have to wait for the buzza...wait for the buzza....wait for it, wait for it....you cant go until you hear the buzza...wait for it........buzza!"
