We've got a team fighting for a NCAA Tourney appearance for the first time in years, and there looks like there might be 7000 people here.
It's 2:30 on a Saturday. I don't get it.

Nice crowd, guys.

It is ridiculous. Students are the only ones who show up but yet we keep shoving them up in the upper decks...
I'd say om
was bigger.
I just don't understand how this isn't a packed house, w all that's on the line.

I am. And I really do try not to be that annoying poster who complains about the crowd(this is actually my first time complaining this season). I've always said the team hasnt been putting a good enough product on the court for people to show up. So I've understood why people weren't here. But now they're winning and fighting for a tourney bid and people still aren't showing up so I just don't get it
I’m not, but I don’t ***** about the crowd. So, are you at the game and spend your time complaining on SPS?
Not saying it’s difficult, I’m saying it’s stupid. If I spend money to game watch a game, I watch the game and enjoy the experience. I don’t go to start pissing matches online and beat dead horses.
Yes.
There are things called TOs.
Im sorry watching the video board during TOs doesn't excite me.

I'm sorry
that I find it ridiculous that we can't even get 8000 people here, now (with where we are), and you don't.

I’m at the game now—- tv timeout.
I agree with Curt, OM hame was better crowd. Also agree with everything else he said.
Also ... we are getting screwed by the officials in this one so far. Hail State!

So you don't
think it's ridiculous we can't draw 8000 people for a 230 Saturday game with a possible tourney appearance on the line?

It’s worthy for this game
We are fighting for tourney birth, seeding in STL, so yea, it’s worthy today. Because the crowd was pathetic. Students attendance being the worst. This team deserves better.

Im with ya here. If i wasnt 5hrs away with a newborn with a 2 and 5yr old and getting little sleep these days id be there. Hell throw the last part out. If im within maybe half the distance (2.5hrs) im there.
With that said i have a feeling the crowd tue will be good.

It appeared to me from my seat @ the game that the upper deck of the student section was the most noticeably empty area of the arena.
Sections 214-224 are reserved for students. Has been empty all year. There may have been 150 combined people between those sections tonight.
I think part of the problem is that people are choosing to attend the girls games rather than the boys. It is hard to for some people (including me) to drive to Starkville 2 or 3 times in a week. I live 1.5 hours away. I've made most games but not all.
And I feel like you didn’t count every head in the place, so the only number we have to go off of is 8162. I’ll take a factual paid attendance number over your opinion.
It's a trade-off between a couple of things.
Televised (to include watchespn games) vs non televised.....my couch and my fridge and bathroom are just more convenient than trying to park, walk, and pay the prices in the Hump.
Reseating the hump back when we thought we'd be good forever. The people that got 'bumped' were middle income people who had paid for tickets EVERY year going back to the Jim Hatfield days when we were so bad it looked like we'd never be good again. Then we become nationally relevant and most good capitalists say, 'well that is the price of being good' and seats go to the highest bidder. So now after the lull in success post Stansbury, the highest bidders dont come back for a while. The middle income people are long gone and laughing at home that they can still watch the game.
Sometimes good ole capitalism backfires.
The evidence is the womens team. Same venue. But if someone goes overboard on trying to maximize the $$ made by pricing out the people who filled it up, we'll see this whole process replayed again.
