New record!!!!

Wow. Impressive.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Tight Game, the Dogs are scrapping!

 

[Drewbowski]

Is that largest crowd for any hoops game?

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I think we broke 11k a few times in 2004.

 

[msudawg05]

The on screen graphic said largest crowd in Mississippi. The announcers then said largest in the state for a women's game. Not sure which is correct.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Per Wikipedia

Though the seating at Humphrey Coliseum is 10,575, the crowd has surpassed capacity 3 times (10,735 vs Mississippi February 7, 2004, 10,645 vs Mississippi February 23, 2002, 10,541 vs Florida January 7, 2003)

Doubt there were many free tickets in this list.

Great crowd, go Dogs.

 

[RocketDawg]

Don't know who wrote that Wikipedia article, but the stated attendance against Florida does not exceed the capacity. Unless there's a typo somewhere.

I'd like to add that there were probably 750-1000

people that were turned away too. My family was three of them. Luckily, they had an overflow screen setup in the Rula-Dampier center AND had activities for my 3 yr old. In fact, other than not getting to drink a Coke and have some popcorn (since we couldn't get through the gates), our daughter had a better time than she would have being inside. I haven't seen the Hump that packed since Stans' prime in the early 2000s. If/when Howland gets it going, we are gonna be a REAL tough place to play again.

How pathetic to lose to the 19-0, #2 team in the nation with that many people there to watch. What other school would do that?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

It'll never be as tough as it could be unless we address where the students sit. But our AD has been clear on what he values in the debate.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Well they were playing

the #2 team in the country.

Seriously? There is a reason they beat teams by double digits... The reason they lost is the same reason the men have a bad record. They dont make shots. MSU shot 27% and only lost by 6 to the #2 team in the country which is upperclassmen heavy while our team is underclassmen heavy. While i do agree that we have more talent then them it is just too young. No one should be dissapointed by this game it was a great game. My only wish id that Thursday and Sundays game was switched so we could have played Tennessee sunday and south carlina Thursday so we would have a winnavle game. Thursday is a must win against Tennessee as we are 0-36 all time against them and as tennessee isnt realy good this year we have to win while we are the superior team by far.

Crazy.
Only women's sports I can watch are tennis and volleyball.

What did he say?

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

The girls lost...too big a crowd means too much pressure on them.**</polk>

 

[RocketDawg]

And they played with intensity that never let up. They seemed to be having fun too. Very good game.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

It's not so much what's has been said as it is the way the Hump is currently configured. At at time when Auburn and Ole Miss moved their students closer to the floor, we've stuck ours in one end zone and upper deck. Florida's surround the court. We don't have to go to that extreme, but we can do better than what we have now. Arkansas, LSU and Kentucky stick their students in the corner and upper decks, but they have actual fans who will come to the games AND cheer to sit in the high dollar seats.

And they played with intensity that never let up. They seemed to be having fun too. Very good game.

The future of Basketball .. both men's and women's is really bright. Consider that USCe is a great team .. started 3 SRs, 1 JR & 1 SO. They have 5 SRs and 5 JRs on their roster. Meanwhile, State started 3 JRs and 2 SOs and ONLY has a lone SR on the roster. They will get better and better.

Having been in there last night with that crowd, all the Hump is missing is wins as far as the crowd. It was ridiculously loud.

 

[KurtRambis4]

^This

People keep starting threads about what needs to be done to make the Hump better and list reason after reason. To me, the MOST important thing, that is never mentioned, is winning.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

??

...Florida's surround the court.

http://floridagators.com/sports/2015/12/10/_tickets_basketball_contribution_levels_.aspx

Again....It is against SEC rules for students to be behind or adjacent to opponents bench

 

[DawgatAuburn]

My bad on that one. I misinterpreted the one.

Still, that's the length of the court on one side.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

I agree. The question is could the crowd be more of a factor in obtaining wins if configured differently. I say yes. Others might not agree, and say that winning will generate a crowd and THEN a full and loud Hump is a tough place to play no matter where people are sitting. I would also agree with that, but I believe the crowd could be more of a factor through the building process if reconfigured, and more of a factor when we are good again as well.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

oh I definitely agree we need some restructure but I am afraid that is not going to happen.

 

[RocketDawg]

And the reasons are obvious. Both can be quite entertaining ....
