If Gonzaga is serious about membership, they should be pitching playing 6+ games per year at the Spokane Arena, which has a 12,000+ capacity. This would put them more in line with the existing C7.

St. Bonnie, Duquesne, and Detroit - not in the conversation with these numbers.

Cuse average will shoot up this weekend...35,012 tickets sold for the Georgetown Game.
