Not noticeable at all on television. Sounded like an awesome crowd for a weeknight.

I got a hint based on the angle they were using for the student section -- straight up their noses as if to avoid showing any of the empty seats behind them.

200 level very apparent in person, but it surely was  a great crowd.  Students were awesome. Crowd size probably affected by the late start , cold, Covid fears and weather in the Chicago area.  Whatever, a fun night at the FF!

I watched on TV and always look for that and caught a glimpse that it was mostly empty. Those seats will usually be empty though unless the game time is better. Other than the middle few sections of the upper, it's mostly just casual fans looking for something to do. Marquette needs to try and give those away to schools and run really good promos to fill the seats. Last night reminded me of Syracuse in 2013. Tons of empty seats but still a very electric crowd.

For whatever reason, despite being better than anyone expected, the MU bball program just isn't resonating with fans yet.  Part of it is probably hangover from the last poor Wojo year.

It's anecdotal, but even at the Rec Plex/Rec Center at noon, nobody is talking about the team (good or bad).  There was always tons of talk about Markus and Sam a few years ago or the teams in the Buzz era.

Maybe the interest in college basketball is down overall.

Are you implying that you are a student or work for the university? If not, how do you know what students are talking about in the rec center right now?

Also, I was there for the height of the Buzz seasons, and we didn't really talk about the basketball team at the rec center. We played basketball or we focused on our own workouts.

Even for trolling this is a bit much.  Try again.

NoLonger has this axe to grind with the University and it's fascinating to me. What did the school do to you, kid?

NoLonger is the latest iteration of a poster who states his (or her) opinions very strongly and is almost always spectacularly wrong.

I am pretty sure this is his third if not his fourth username since he has been here.  And he's not a kid and most definitely has no idea what is being discussed at the Rec Center.

Hired a black coach

Beat Nova twice this year.  Never behind in the game last night.

We are better than Villanova!  Let that sink in for awhile.

Now we just need to have better or equal receptions for the Big East Tourney

[We R Final Four]

Nope. No AED or chest compressions though, that I saw.

There definitely were. His buddy was distraught......said his condition was still unknown when I asked him after the game.
