MBB: Wesley and Lafayette Sign

[CharlieK]

I think there will be a big crowd Saturday. Word is spreading. My group will have 7. 5 of which have not been to a game in years.

I do not buy that “southern basketball is dead” narrative. Lafayette is desperate for something special. If the basketball team would win at a special clip, the town would be rabid.

It’s also another example of why we CANT do something as opposed to setting the tone and being unique. We CAN do something special in basketball here.

There is no statistical data to back up this statement.

I’m hoping we have 7500 or more.

Go back to Marlin’s first year. We ended the season on an 11 game winning streak. Crowds built throughout the year and had over 8k for senior night against Denver. There most certainly was a buzz around Lafayette about Cajun basketball that year. The thing about that team is that we started out so bad. Completely opposite of this year. If this team can go on a similar streak Lafayette will support it.
