But nonetheless, we have NEW ORLEANS at home on Thursday. The Privateers beat us in a nip and tuck contest about a month ago. This is in OUR house though. And as I said in chat, I like our chances vs anyone short of the top 25 in the Superpit this season.

We must win...ASU and Monroe keep doing so. We have to stay in contact.

The way this team can open up they could beat anyone outside the top 5 on any given night. The problem is they don't play that way every night. We should take UNO no problem as long as JJ lets them play at their pace and not UNOs or his.

The Box Score shows a crowd of 3500 for the game tonight. I know it was a weekend, contest - but the team needs a similar sized crowd for the UNO contest. I can't stress enough how big this game is if we want to stay within striking distance of Arkansas State and Monroe.

BTW if the season ended away this would be the brackets.

#1 - USA

#9 - UALR @

#8 - FAU

#13 - Denver @

#4 - Ark State

#5 - UNT

#3 - WKU

#11 - Fla. Int'l @

#10 - Troy @

#7 - UNO

#2 La Monroe

This is the game the AD needs to pull out all the stops on campus and in the newspapers to get the students there. Shoot for a car or free books or a semester of rent, something. Winter Bikini contest, Greek 3-legged race for cash...something, anything to get people in the pit and goin nutso.

Great point. And why not get it formalized somehow that everybody in the Pit holds up the talon during our free throws, and everybody sticks around for the alma mater? Maybe with a pregame announcement. After all, the Green is what we're doing it all for.

For that matter, I'd like to see the words to the 'mater up on the jumbotron, with everybody singing it.

Ritual breeds success! Success should also breed ritual. We've got something going here.

You're right, Rick, but sadly it will never happen. After all, it's only basketball.

I think people would come for basketball. Basketball is big here in Texas and I think as of right now they would rather go see a NT basketball game than a football game(pre TD era). Not to mention its indoors, nice atmosphere, nice arena and most of all the team is winning. I think if you market and sell it right theres no reason we cant get 3000-5000 people in there against UNO.

3000-5000 STUDENTS are what is really needed.

I'd settle for 3500 total again...however they come. Honestly, I'm just hoping for a good sized crowd. We had over 3K several weeks ago for a game, and then proceeded to go into the 1300-2000 area until the WKU game.

That should NOT happen for UNO.
