    Did you go?

    Nope, I haven’t been to a game since the 2nd roster turnover.

    I am not on the Bob Marlin train. Right or wrong, I won’t participate.

    I’m rapidly becoming a spring sports fan and about to just forget the fall sports.

    I knew the answer already. It’s just funny that someone who doesn’t attend games and actively roots against our basketball program has the nerve to talk down on our attendance.

    Stating facts isn’t talking down. I don’t root against the program, I simply do not support it.

    I have expectations, maybe you should as well. My expectations are to make the NCAA tournament every year. Bob Marlin has accomplished that 2 times in 13 years. So attendance and his tournament birth average in his tenure are about the same.

    I expect every major sport to compete for SBC Titles annually. It shouldn’t be a rarity. If we aren’t there are two issues, lack of institutional support for that sport, or poor coaching. It’s that simple.

    I don’t support poor coaching.

    Overall turnout was not good but student support was fine.

    Very difficult to make the NCAA tournament EVERY year. Some blue blood programs don't do that. Now expecting to challenge for a championship most years is very reasonable. Generally being in the top 4 in the league 90 percent of the time indicates you are doing that. Granted we have not done that consistently enough. Perhaps this season we can have back to back strong finishes. We may have rebounding issues and inside scoring problems. However the defense we have seen to date from the squad indicates it is possible.

    Mike, I’m not saying they would win it every year. But I expect them too. There is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t expect to win the league every year.

    Anything outside of the top 3 is a failure for what we spend on the program. The facilities and operating budget.

    Also Ron Hunter went to 3 dances in 7 years (and I think 2 NITs) and actually won a game in his last run.

    Absolutely zero reason why we are not the standard of basketball in this league.

    For being the defending champs, the turnout was terrible for opening night.

    Take a look at other mid major opening night attendances

    VCU - SELL OUT ( 7,500 )
    Grand Canyon - SELL OUT ( 7,200 )
    UCF - ( 6,500 )
    Wich St - ( 6,200 )
    Charleston - ( 5,300 )
    Marshal - ( 4,500 )
    Siena - ( 4,500 )
    Toledo - ( 4,300 )
    Western K - ( 3,900 )
    UTEP - ( 3,800 )
    Liberty - ( 3,500 )
    Middle T - ( 3,500 )
