I am not trying to turn this into a "The Student Section Better Show Up...." type post, but am legitimately curious if anyone knows what the ticket sales look like for Saturday.

The atmosphere was great last night despite a smaller crowd than I anticipated.

I hope there are few more butts in the seats come Saturday.

Last night was the kind of win that gets people's attention. I think we see an attendance bump.

If my daughter did have a competition this Saturday, I'd be making the drive from Indy.

I'm there for all Saturday afternoon and evening games against Big East or legitimate non-conference opponents. This Saturday will be no different. GO WARRIORS!

#UnleashSean · « **Reply #4 on:** January 25, 2017, 09:36:14 AM »

Should be a huge attendance boost for the students. Sadly i wont be there as skipping three days for nova is enough missed school.

skianth16 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 25, 2017, 09:38:56 AM »

I was looking for tickets earlier this week, and I saw more seats available than I was expecting. Hopefully last night's win will change that, though! It would be great to see a crowd in the 17K-18K range to keep this momentum going.

No need to worry. 10 of us from '86 coming in, and we sound like 100.

I'm guessing the student section will be full. After all the students that were there last night go back and tell their friends how much fun they had, everyone will want to show up on Sat.

jsglow · « **Reply #8 on:** January 25, 2017, 11:09:13 AM »

Last night was a very solid weeknight crowd in the 'modern' era. After several tough years and coupled with overall declining attendance nationally, we still had announced of 14+. These days that's pretty good. I will say this, for the last 6 minutes that building was the best I've heard it in several years surpassing the big crowds on NMD the last couple years.

Glad chick and I were there for history.

wadesworld · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2017, 01:05:58 PM »

I'd be surprised if the student section was full on Saturday.

I think you might see a bigger bump in non-students than in students. Just my gut feeling.

If anyone is interested, Jason Terry tweeted a photo of his seats, courtesy of Steve Novak. He was just saying he was happy to be at an NCAA game and thanked Steve. His photo accidentally captures the MU student section and seating in both upper and lower decks. I was definitely taken a back at some of the empty seats for a likely NCAA MU team and the current #1 and defending national champs, regardless of it being a Tuesday night. It was also a good, normal start time.

There will be some competition Saturday as the Bucks play Saturday night. Jae will be in town (wonder if makes an appearance the MU game)? I'm very much MU first, but for the casual fans, some may go for the Bucks and the night game. I'm actually doing a Bradley Center double header as was offered some good (and free) Bucks' tickets.

I can tell you this. Nova's crowd. Great people. Love those people. Fabulous people. But our crowd was bigger than Nova's crowd when MU played at Wells Fargo. Lots of more people. The Philadelphia media will deny it, but it's true. So so true. They are corrupt fibbers. Fibbin Philly is what I call 'em. Jay Wrong and the Mildcats? Please. Our game was bigger. Believe me. The MCTS ticket sales were bigger than the SEPTA ticket sales for the same time on that day. More eyeballs on our game once you account for the time zone difference. Very important the time zone. Hugely important. The Fibbin Philly media won't tell you that. Believe me.

With all the home games being on TV, I doubt MU will see much of an increase in attendence. I did not set my VCR to record the Villanova game, but I knew when I got home from the game I could tape a replay of the game, which I did. I actually have it on now.

Have Marquette and the Bucks ever advertised/sold tickets as a double header if they play in the same day like on Saturday?

I think it'd be a good way to get butts in seats for both games, plus I know I'd enjoy going to the local bars for a few hours in between games.

Bringing my 9-month old on his first Milwaukee Trip/Marquette game. Wish his mother and me luck.

MU-Providence always seems to have something goofy happen in it.

2009 in Rhode Island: Jeff Xavier's brother climbs over the bench and walks onto the court to protest a foul called against Xavier.

2013 in Milwaukee: The Bat Game

2014 in Rhode Island: Davante Gardner, of all people, appears to hit a 3/4 court shot to win the game at the buzzer. It's waived off as being too late, and PC wins in overtime.

2016 in Rhode Island: MU upsets #8 Providence. Warriors had gone 0-11 in previous 11 meetings vs. Top 10 teams, and 0-6 since, until this past week.

2016 in Milwaukee: MU wins in Double Overtime

Soccer chants are the best in the world. A few of my favorites include the Iceland national team viking chant from Euros this summer. "Will Grigg's on fire" is a great one.

The best ones though that always make me laugh are the self deprecating ones. Hard to explain so ill just link the youtube video, theyre pretty hilarious.
