Re: Basketball Attendance
Given that we go by tickets sold and attendance today was 914, is it safe to say we sold less than 1,000 season tickets this year?

That's after a trip to the tournament. Might as well shut down the program.

Keep hoping Maggard moves on sooner than later. Whole university needs a reset.

I was there and I don't have season tickets so maybe but Mardi Gras obviously factored into the low numbers. Can't say I still don't feel a bit disappointed.
Re: Basketball Attendance
And it's Superbowl Sunday. Mardi Gras hangover and the Superbowl
Re: Basketball Attendance
And two home SB games before

I get the butts in seats being low, but we don’t report that. We report sold. Just awful.
Re: Basketball Attendance
They did sell walk up tickets yesterday. I had an extra ticket on my phone and went to the window area. Yes, I easily gave the ticket away.
Re: Basketball Attendance
It does not matter if it was Super Bowl Sunday, Mardi Gras, or softball playing down the street. We should NEVER draw less than 1,000 fans in ANY part of the season. That is terrible.
914. Wow.

No argument there. May have been the lowest attended game since team played in EKL Gym back in the 50's. That is why the administration needs to look at this issue in offseason and figure out solutions to a major problem. Firing the coach is not going to happen so that is off the table. Other avenues are available as seen in the realistic improvement thread that was going on last week. Hopefully some of the ideas presented are considered. Fortunately, the team put on a great show for the folks who went yesterday. You could tell they wanted to erase the bad taste they had from the poor performance on Wednesday.

The effort that the team is showing is definitely there. It's just a shame that no one is there to see it.

You know Mike, getting rid of the coach might be the only thing to rejuvenate this program. We are losing fans at an alarming rate! Apathy is getting solidified.
