MU Claims Share of BIG EAST Title With Win Over St. John's
         

Vander Blue's driving shot fell through the rim as the overtime buzzer sounded, giving No. 15 Marquette a 69-67 victory over St. John's on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, and a share of the Big East regular season championship, their first title since joining the conference in 2005-06.

Bump .. 3 years ago today. 

I don't think anyone would have guessed we'd miss the next 3 NCAAs and lose 2400 season ticket holders.

The devil is collecting on whatever deal MU made to win the Big East and go to the Elite 8 that year.

Bye, bye St. Johns.  We get on the plane happy.

Is there some basis in fact on the 2,400 season ticket claim?


Have we missed the 3rd NCAA...yet?

So ..  I recall Dr. Blackheart doing some math and coming up with -2400.

But checking, that appears a bit off, or we're starting from different years.  The guesstimate is based on .. finding the lowest attendance of the year, which is typically a weeknight cupcake game in early December that likely has zero walk-up sales.

I just checked a few .. these are indicative if not the exact lowest of the year. 

2010 - Tues 12/7 vs Texas A&M-CC - 13,505
2015 - Wednesday 12/2 vs Grambling State - 11,618

.. So it's maybe closer to -1900 lost over the past 5 years.  Certainly a combination of factors, from the recession, to Buzz, to the BE changes, and 3 seasons of below average performance, etc.

While unmeasurable, I'd bet a box of donuts the butts in the seats number is down at least double that.
