Stanford vs UC Davis

The Stanford "Cardinals" handily beat the UC Davis "Aggies" on Sunday night. It is very rare for me to go see a sporting event, but I bought tickets so my visiting cousin from Holland could experience an American sports event. He loves basketball and he was very impressed with the size of the Maples Pavilion at Stanford as well as the game in general. One odd thing though, I bought tickets online and the only seats the Stanford Web site would sell me were high up, way in the back. I thought the game would be sold out, but there were plenty of seats near the court left. What's up with that?
