Big East Conference Results/ NCAA/NIT/CBI

[Mr. Nielsen]

That's it? Doesn't Creighton historically have crazy good attendance?

That is a solid crowd for a 1st round NIT game, with selling tickets in 2 days.

Wright State at Clemson-1,718
Hofstra at NC State- 5,550 (game was played at their classic old arena)
Lipscomb at Davidson-1,647
Campbell at UNCG-4,459
St. Francis PA at Indiana-5,431
San Diego at Memphis-8,138
South Dakota State at Texas-1,739
Arkansas at Providence-3,057 (9PM local start)
Loyola at Creighton-5,755

I like Cooley, I think he's a good coach, but man, he needs to get some shooters in the worst way.  3-23 from behind the arc last night, and it wasn't exactly just a one-off.  Only one player above 35% from deep on the year.  For reference, we have 5, 6 if you include Cam.

The arc was lengthened to international distance for NIT. However, I agree with you, they do not have that three point threat in their arsenal.  It really hurts them in games where the other team gets out to a big lead.

I was somewhat surprised at first blush. However, it is a late Tuesday night game which was announced Sunday night. So not a lot of time for advance ticket sales. Also, I believe NIT mandates prices for student tickets, so unless some benefactor bought the student tickets not many of them. All things considered it was not a bad crowd. Shows the strength of their fan base.

By way of comparison, Providence had 3057 at the Dunkin Donuts Dome.

X up 62-43 8:16 left
Hoyas up 54-52. Visual of a full Thompson center is better than an empty arena

Harvard up 57-54 8:15 left

X up 69-51 3:51 left
