Jaguar fever is gripping Mobile with the University of South Alabama playing in the NCAA basketball tournament.
Plenty of people want to be part of the action.
If you want to see the Jaguars in the tournament in Birmingham, don't call the school.
USA has sold its ticket allotment.
But tickets are still available through the NCAA.
Keith Ayers with the University of South Alabama says, "They're selling books that include the entire tournament. I think the ticket price is about $150. It covers the entire weekend's play, but it covers our game and then the other games that are played and then, when we make it into the second round on Sunday, it would also cover that game as well."
School officials say many students will take chartered buses to Birmingham leaving the campus Friday morning.
But students who can't go to Birmingham have another option.
Ayers says, "There is an event over in the student center, this is for students. (It's) Friday at game time: 1:45 pm. We'll have a big screen projection system in the student center for students to come and enjoy."
Not a student, but still a USA fan?
The USA National Alumni Association is hosting two game watching parties Friday afternoon.
One will be at Fabacher's Sports Bar in west Mobile, the other at Heroes sports bar downtown.
