I dont know but I will tell you it would have been impossible to get that nice a shot with the old lighting in Fouts!!

That must have been terrible to watch from fouts. Not a good seat in the house. I am happy they moved to the pit....

I can see 36 fan faces in that picture. Of those, two are reading books, one is staring off at the other end of the pit, one appears to be praying, one is staring intently at her husband's head, zero are standing, zero appear to be cheering in any way.

Is there still a home court advantage?

Once we get an opponent with some name recognition it might get the fans in attendance to get excited. The students aren't turning out in the same numbers from early last season or the year before, but those that did come were involved and as loud as they could be. So maybe a slight advantage, but nothing like we've seen recently.

I think there is still an home court advantage. I am confident the opposing players can hear my taunts from the front row. I will continue to believe I have some impact!

There won't be a recognizable opponent in the Super Pit until conference play begins on 1/9/14.

What was most surprising about the Nichols game is that the student support has gone down dramatically.

There were a few more on the other side of the court. But, turnout was not good. Not many students AT ALL. Really too bad. Think what you will about the head coach and/or the opponents...the players did not make those decisions. Too bad so many fans gave taken their unhappiness out on the players by not showing up to support them and create that "home court advantage". They may see it as a protest against the administration, but it manifests itself in empty seats and a lack of support for the players. Too bad, but it is what it is.

The opportunity to really hook people in was missed (by a lot) last season. It's nothing but die hards, irrational optimists, and masochists left with an ever smaller number of people trying on UNT basketball to see if they like it.

How long before something is done to arrest the slide?

It's basketball... Nothing else needs to be said. It is the best sport on the face of the earth and takes incredible skill. It's like watching a game of chess played out but ten times better. Basketball sells itself.

No bro, winning sells itself and if you don't know that, you just haven't called me yet. #MM4L

I haven't been able to attend a home game in a good number of years. I have, however, been a fixture in the chatroom for most of the games for quite a few years.

That used to be a happening, fun place to be. Last game we had maybe 5 people in the 1st half and absolutely no one in the second half.

Depressing.

Actual attendance has fallen off along those lines

I apologize...I did have a prior commitment.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
