I hope you're right and we do sell out for that game, but unfortunately, it falls on Saturday at the end of spring break week. I'm worried that a lot of students will still be out of town.

I'm thinking 98% of students will still be out of town. It should be a good crowd otherwise, hopefully approaching 10k. But yeah, with virtually no students, no way we approach a sellout.

Nice to hear. The players and their families feel the same way about the folks who make southeastern Ohio their home.

Semesters are a big downside for basketball. Students now miss 2 MAC games...they used to miss none. Sure, they're now here for a few of the December games vs. Southeastern Louisiana Tech, et. all....but I'd much rather they be here for the MAC games. Or that we at least get someone decent for them to watch in December.

At least everyone will be on campus when we pull off another upset or two in tournament. The celebrations on Court Street were crazy for the Georgetown and Michigan wins, and those came at the tail end of finals week when most students were already done and on spring break. I can't imagine what the crowd would be like if we pulled off another upset with a full student body on campus.
