A very special night:

11,807 and the win :eek:

I didn't even know MTSU's arena held that many. Congrats on the win.

How many do you guys usually have showing up for games?

A little over 3K on average, but in conference it has been much better, maybe 4K.

Back in the seventies we averaged around 8K, or a little above that, in attendance and in the eighties we got close to that average a few times. But that was when we went to post season 8 out of 14 years and were beating team like Minnesota, West Virginia, Colorado, Florida State, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia Tech, Michigan and Kentucky.

Prior to Kermit Davis arriving we had gone through twelve poor years of basketball. It's going to take some consistent winning to get the support back to pre-nineties levels. Hopefully last night was a re-introduction of Raider basketball to the community.

Looks like ya'll did something right to get that many people packed into the place. I wish we could see that kind of crowd on senior night for us.

Good game for MTSU, I will admit.

WKU still does hold the series quite handily historically and recently. Overall 81-28 , recently 12-2. Just to keep things in perspective! :D

Great crowd! Love the fact that attendance is going up for conference games. That's what it's all about.
