This is destroying the program.
We need to start having serious discussions about rebuilding Blackham just like we are rebuilding Cajun Field. With our history in basketball, I would think that there are enough deep pockets left from the old days to seed this project. It is time we reclaim our history and our basketball program.
While I agree that we need to create a better gameday environment, averaging barely over 1,700 coming off of a NCAA tournament appearance is not directly because of the venue. That wouldn't even look good in Blackham. The reality is that the "vibe" of the program is stale. Until we pump in some energy into it, it doesn't matter where we play.

Agree. Great ways to do that are changing leadership and opening new venues, or in this case, rebuilding one of the greatest college basketball digs in history.

I would like to know the actual attendance that gets scanned per game. Probably averaging 800.

I hope so. I will do my part to be in the crowd in one of my rare MBB appearances. I'm just a casual basketball fan.

Posted this multiple times. Top ten, only one game this century. Two in top twenty. Evans era was just an uptick in a 40 year downward trend.
