NCAA TOURNAMENT Q&A: Need to know info for Wofford fans
While the Terriers went to the NCAA Tournament just last year, it never hurts to have a refresher course of how the NCAA Tournament process works.
Where do I buy tickets? Ticket prices will not be known until Sunday, but the Athletic Department is giving first priority to Terrier Club donors and basketball season ticket holders for tickets to any NCAA tournament games. Tickets are $75, call (864) 597-4090 to order and again ordering tickets through Wofford is based upon a priority points system .
Where do I buy SoCon championship and other Wofford gear? Ben Wofford Books (864-582-6514) on Church Street is the place to start and has new shipments of gear to commemorate the Terriers historic back-to-back Southern Conference championships in stock now and with more on the way! Rivals Sports in WestGate Mall in Spartanburg also has championship apparel as well (no photos presently available.)
YES Let's Dance Again! shirts will also be available through Ben Wofford Books! Check with them March 14/15 as they will be arriving around then.
How can I support the Terriers here in town? One of the best ways to show your support is by flying Wofford flags at your home or business, wearing Wofford gear to work and play and by printing the "Let's Dance – AGAIN!" logo on flyers, banners or placing it on your business marquee. This isn't simply exciting for Wofford, this is exciting for the entire community. Only 68 cities around the country have a "hometown" team that make it to the "Big Dance." Also, call if you would like a high resolution version of the "Let's Dance!" or Wofford logos. They must be used with permission.

The NCAA Basketball Tournament can be seen this year on one of four networks or online. Watch every game on CBS, TNT, TBS, TruTV, or Online at marchmadness.com. In case you missed it, here's how things are different from last year.
Last year: All the games were on CBS.
This year: The games are being split up on four different networks thanks to the new Turner deal. CBS, TNT, TBS, & TruTv will split television coverage up to the Sweet 16, when CBS will take over and broadcast the Final Four.
Last year: Games on CBS were on at the same time. If you wanted to watch multiple endings at once, you'd generally have to hope for the guys at the studio to be quick on cutting back and forth between games.
This year: Every game starts on a staggered schedule, so you'll be guaranteed to watch every ending to every game without having to worry about flipping channels.
