BU wins NCAA berth: 61-51 final
They're going dancing. The Binghamton University men's basketball team defeated the University of Maryland Baltimore County 61-51 Saturday to win the America East championship and earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Name the dollar amount you're willing to pay. But most people in Binghamton University's event center parking lot before Saturday's game were not willing to part with their ticket.

"This is one of the biggest sporting event in Broome County ever," said Nathan Turrell, 39, of Binghamton.
Binghamton University students camped out overnight to try to secure the best general admission ticket for the student section. Just to get a general admission ticket students earlier this week had to sleep over night, or, at the very least, wait for hours in line.
Steven Prinz, 18, of Long Island, said he arrived at the Event Center at 7 a.m. Wednesday to buy his general admission student ticket before they went on sale at noon Wednesday.
"I don't think I would sell it. It's too much of a thing," said Prinz, an engineering major who painted his body for the game.
Binghamton University student Steve Pahuskin, 22, of Brooklyn, said he will probably fail out of school because of his effort to get his tickets for the game. The accounting and pre-law major skipped two tests on Wednesday.
"I probably won't be here next year," said Pahuskin, "but it was totally worth it."
