Final: Louisiana 75, Samford 58

Attendance kind of reminds one of football, right . . .

7500 = 1500

Esqueleto reading comprehension is poor. I said MBB was 5th on the importance level and he brought season tickets/attendance into play. While we are talking about it Volleyball was pulling close to 1000 folks and EKL was pack. I don't have to tell you about softball getting 1500 to 1800 per game. MBB at UL is dying.

Who gets to decide which sport is more important? What’s the criteria? Wouldn’t attendance be something to look at? While you’re bringing up attendance to volleyball, it was free to get in so it’s not a fair comparison. Also a men’s national championship in basketball would garner far more attention than a women’s softball natty. It’s why big fish gets paid 600k and glasco makes what he makes 170k.

Touché, except we all know the ONLY reason The Big Fish makes so much is that his wife swims in the right circle . . .

Looking at the crowds? If half of them need walkers or canes they’re not gonna survive long.

7500 = 1500

Well, that's one game. It's unacceptable but its still one game. We had 25k for homecoming in FB. When is the last time MBB put 5k in the dome? JJ Thomas - Fear the Beard?

They don’t have the benefit of a homecoming . . .

In the whole scene of things 15,000 is not > 2600

[ManAboutTown]

They don’t have the benefit of a homecoming . . .

They have the benefit of double the amount of home games though.

Not sure that is a benefit

Football has to try only 6 times . . .

Again, in the whole scene of things 15,000 is not > 2600

Vic, this is a race to the bottom. Football attendance is not good for completely different reasons. MBB has a coach on his 13 year and a team that is 8-1. We shouldn't be scraping the bottom for butts in seats. Yet, here we are. Let's diagnose the problem rather than whatboutism. It's like the Alden report stated.. "I've never seen a school with 4 different fanbases."

Football's problems have nothing to do with MBB problems.

I think for the Cajundome re-opening game vs Nicholls had about 6k. Most of the 1st 2 levels were full. That was the best crowd since the remodel.

Support of the program decides the importance. MBB has little to no support, except the Social Club which you seem to be a part of. Glasco has more conference championships than all UL coaches combined and Marlin will be gone before Glasco is gone. Lets look at attendance. MBB had 1000 actual folks in the dome, softball gets 1500 to 1800 actual folks per game. Give up you dream of MBB at UL ever winning a natty.
