On the men's side, Rory Sabbatini jumped from No. 6 to No. 2 and Derek Gillespie entered the rankings at No. 22. BrieflyThis Friday's volleyball match against Oregon State has been pushed back an hour from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. because of Midnight Madness. In an attempt to get more fans for the game, all persons in attendance for the volleyball match can retain their seats for the B-ball events slated to begin at 11:15 p.m. The team takes the court shortly after midnight. Tickets for the volleyball game are $4 for the general public and $3 for UA faculty, staff and senior citizens. UA students are free with their identification. However, after the second game of the volleyball match everyone will be admitted free into McKale Center. CorrectionThe Wildcat incorrectly reported the name of a Wildcat golfer in yesterday's UA briefs section. Tim Beans finished 24th with a 147 score after the first round of the Taylor Made Red River Classic in Dallas. By the Numbers14,489: Official number of seats in McKale Center that will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis for Friday night's Midnight Madness activities. Who needs Dick Vitale anyway? McKale is going to be rocking with the national champs. Fans are welcome as early as they want to come, but fans without a UA student ID will have to pay for the volleyball game that precedes the basketball festivities.
