I'd be pretty disappointed if it's not. This team deserves a rowdy atmosphere.
There are about 1500 tickets left. Gonna need a huge walkup to get to a sellout.
With the empties, plus a full end of the upper deck empty (no faith in the students) it's gonna be a morgue again.

A morgue. Really? I refuse to believe that. I have more faith in my brethren.

The atmosphere at the BC has sucked for the most part this season. The Syracuse game was the one time it got really loud in there all season. Cincy isn't a sexy opponent anymore, so I can't see it being loud at all.
Hope I'm wrong.
Midweek game makes it tougher for the Chicago contingent of Alumni to scoop up the extras. I wouldn't expect 15 even considering Senior Night. But even that is a good turnout. That's still a good showing, and I hope the crowd is larger. Apologies I can't be there this time.

Buzz sent out an email to the students today, encouraging them to go to the game. Hopefully that will help get the students to the BC tomorrow.

Good for him.
It sucks that he has to do that because the students should be coming on their own to say goodbye and thanks to the seniors. An email from the Coach should go a long way to drawing kids down to a mid-week game against a team that they may not realize used to be a rival just a few years ago.
Jimmy Butler just called asking me to come to the game.
Ill be there along with 3 others, will get rowdy
I thought the UCONN game had the best crowd of the year. It was a good deal louder than Syracuse.

Ditto. Will crack the first beers at 5:05.
Two more Chicago alums making the trip.
I also just talked to Jimmy Butler on the phone. He was kind of rude, wouldn't even let me get a word in, just talk talk talk. Oh well good thing Jimmy jumps high.

If we can stomach rush hour traffic out of Chicago, undrgrads can walk to the BC! Seriously, people, come on. Have some pride in your team.

Really? Huh.
Maybe people were hoping they would not blow another game versus the Orange. My voice sounded like Buzz's voice after the Syracuse game.
When DJO hit that 3 to go by 6, the place was very loud.
How do you know that 1500 ticket are left?
Maybe Marquette should bring back Tom Crean to get the students to come to more game. ;D

I had the same problem. They need to do a phone etiquette seminar or something.
Making the drive up from Chicago.
Jimmy called me as well but I wasn't able to answer the phone in time. He didn't even have the decency to leave a voice mail. How rude
Really? Jimmy left me a voicemail and his number to reach him after Senior Night. Crossing my fingers...

Pretty sure my call came from DJO...which seems odd for Senior Night ?-(
Annoyed, the gf is feeling sick and doesn't want to go now. Hate trying to find someone with 3 hours notice :-\
Where are your seats?

Section 425, Row M, 6-7
They're not great by any means, but it's a pretty good full view of the court.
Sounds like a Man-Date may be a-brewing.

It'd take more than row M uppers to buy my love and affection.
I was going to say I could find someone to take em but I don't know that's pretty rough.

Go solo!! Sell your extra ticket on the street for $5, buy yourself a beer with the fresh dough, and sit with 17,000 like-minded fans. And stay as long as you like.

To be honest, I would go by myself if I had to.
I'll go regardless, I'm just irked that I can't find anyone to join me. Texted a bunch of friends, but everyone already has plans. If I'd known earlier, it'd be easy to find someone.
If I were to board a plane in NY right now, I'd probably land in MKE right around tipoff...anybody interested in in subsidizing my airfare?

Yeah, first-year season ticket holder. Planning to upgrade next year, but will probably be 2-3 more years before I move to the lower bowl. Got my eye on a promotion that should put me into lower bowl budget.

If you haven't found a use for it yet, look over in the trading post. There's a dude looking for one ticket...

nothing to be ashamed of.....nothing wrong with working your way up.
Paid crowd of 15,538. Who thought on here that there was only 1500 tickets left.

Just what I was told. Sorry to disappoint you so.
