No chance it was 2100, more like 4K! Let’s get 5K+ Sunday 😎

All of the NIT games reported attendance that was suspiciously low and seemed way under reported.

My wife and I agreed it wasn’t 4100 but I thought it was 3,500 or so.  2,100 seems very low.

It really boggles the mind how this AD shoots itself in the foot on things like this!

I thought it was the second or third biggest crowd of the year.

The NIT let Riverside in over South Alabama just for them to lose by 39. 🤣

@UNTFan23 posted this on the Furman thread about us perhaps not hosting Okla St...

"Likely won't happen as I have heard there is a schedule conflict with the Super Pit. 😔"

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.   Perhaps the AD's office can advise us.... (eyeroll).

UNT needs to focus on a really good Ark. St. team for sure and I do believe SMU will beat OSU. But the AD needs to start working on freeing up the Superpit for a possible OSU matchup. If it is a concert, then likely nothing can be done. But anything else needs to be strongarmed out of the way.

It was. The reported number of 2138 would be accurate if you change the 2 to a 4.

4,138 would be a believable attendance.

I put a call into the AD to get an explanation and they tole me it was a mistake from some guy named Randy and they apologized.   Not to nitpick cause I know people make mistakes but damn they act like they forgot to take the trash out.  This shit is important.  How we present our fans to the world is important to our image.

Where is @Arkstfan

I posted a bit after we played and before your game with Furman. 
 

Batshit week. Tornado missed us by two miles last Friday. Winds this week had wildfires near us. Wednesday 130 year old orphanage near us that has been turned into a community garden, farmers market, meeting space, RV park, farm, and AirBnB burned while my daughter was working at the farm market. My wife volunteers there and my cousin is on the board. 
 

Apparently got hit with the Irish curse “May you live in interesting times”

I think he is more of a football fan but I may be wrong about that. 

I am but wife loves hoops and finally have a coach she doesn’t hate so we haven’t missed many home games last two seasons

I learned long ago that when you are in an event where someone else gets the gate, announced attendance usually drops (major exception Arkansas at Arkansas in WNIT).

Current line I'm seeing is North Texas -4.5

If we defend the 3 this can be a comfortable win. That's how much they lean on it. Also, if this is in the 20s at the break then we have them in the grinder and will chew em up in the 2nd half.
