Wow! That Sunbelt title game attendance number is very low. I go to a 3a high school and that wouldn't sell out our gym. Too bad UNT didn't get to the finals thta would have been great.

Most State Championship basketball games in Texas would have ranked pretty high on that list. ( in several divisons )

The local attendance for the whole tourney had to be a major disapointment. Does anyone know if North Texas Students were offered a price break on tickets ?

Several of the out of town teams fans traveled well, ULL, Ark. State,WKU,MTSU. Makes you wonder if North Texas fans would have travel out of state to the conference tourney.

North Texas students got in free to all the games during the conference tournament with a valid student id. I saw "some" advertisement for the conference tourny around campus, but some of it didn't even mention that students got in free to all the games with student ids. Just chalk it up to another missed opportunity by the AD at this school.
