MTSU reported close to 8k for yesterday's game, and after watching several CUSA TV games and what they reported, obviously inflation is popular. Our attendance, while not as good as it should be, is not as bad as it appears in comparison. I hope this isn't the beginning of a referendum on keeping Haase.

Good. There's no good excuses for Thurs night. Meaningful game against a good opponent, 7 o clock start, no TV, no football, etc. Bama is selling out games, Auburns been selling out games despite being terrible, teams in our conference are selling out games. Anything less than 8k Thurs will be very disappointing.

Prepare to be disappointed.

Wouldn't expect a sell out. Very seldom happens regardless of opponent.

Would be happy to see the largest crowd of the season though.

Or maybe not.

2800 butts in seats. Maybe. And 500 of those were Blazers

If you can walk to the can in MT's arena without dodging the foldout bleachers, it ain't a record-breaking crowd.

If we have 7,000 Thursday I'll jump for joy. Of course I want a sellout but I am not holding my breath.
