I was unsure how the secondary ticket market would work for this game since tickets just went on sale at 9 am on Monday. What I realized was that all of the UW-Milwaukee fans had bought too many tickets before driving down. The scalpers were selling their extra seats. We ended up buying two tickets for $25.

Of course, as we entered the arena one guy handed me a free ticket but it was too late to try and sell it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">UW-Milwaukee at Northwestern<\/span><br \/>\nNorthwestern cruised through most of the game defeating UW-Milwaukee 70-61. John Shurna scored 25 points and Michael Thompson had 20 points to lead the Wildcats.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Post Game Dining<\/span><br \/>\nAfter the game we went to Candlelight Chicago for dinner \u2013 which is actually a bar and not a romantic restaurant. This place is great if you are heading back to Chicago after a Northwestern game. They have nightly specials (Wednesday night was 2-for-1 burgers) and the food is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had waited for this moment ever since I started at Northwestern as a freshman in the fall of 1994 \u2013 an NIT game at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
