Old Dominion (2/15/20)

[greenminer]

The crowd went absolutely nuts when Smart made a three yesterday.  Would love to see him regain his 3-point touch from Y1.

Great game, on really real TV.  Good crowd and the Pit floor graphics looked great.  That’s what “real TV will do.

I love how the court looks on TV. Really better on TV than in person and I like it in person.

Monarchs Fall at League Leader North Texas

Quote

"We didn't have it today," said ODU head coach Jeff Jones. "North Texas is really good. They are a deep team and their coaching staff did a great job taking advantage of our fatigue. I can't really explain a game like this. We just didn't give ourselves much of a chance. It was not our day."

I’m starting to care less and less about the crowd size.  

We’re homing in on close to 50 years of Super Pit-ness.  I’ve seen the roller coaster of attendance too many times the past 34 years. We know what has to happen to get a raging loud-ass crowd in there....WINS and notoriety(DFW news coverage)..  When we win enough to gain both we’ll have the CBI Championship vs San Fran crowd again.

Till that happens there’s no reason to worry about it.  Just worry about yourself and enjoy the ride.

This!!! And look around the rest of the arenas around the country. Lots of people struggle with attendance. Baylor can't sell out right now and they're #1 and won something like 24 straight.

No they don't. My brother-in-law is a season ticket holder. They did "sell out" Saturday with 10,305 announced and he said the vast majority of seats was full. The venue seats 10,084 and I think it's really similar to the Super Pit. Only one other time this season was announced over 9,000. My brother-in-law says they are "very" generous with what they announce there as well. The number that really pops out is the 6,000 for Texas. School was out then but that's shocking low.

His 3-pointer tied the highest lead of the game (at the time). Mo would hit a FT a short time later to make it 22 but ODU made some very late buckets (3-pointer and a jumper) to bring it down to a 17-point difference.
