There are no excuses for students....

[GoldenEagles1990]

How do we fix it? The media on TV and radio is talking Packers 24/7. I bet many don't even know about the game Tuesday night.

Amen! Couldn't be happier they lost for that sole reason.

Scrambled Eggs should be required listening for students.

That's pathetic if true.

It be true. A lotta blue on that map.

[Marqevans]

That's pathetic if true.

Marquette fans are like White Sox fans.  You have to be near first place for fans to show up.

They are having free tacos for students begining at 5:30

Are they coming from one of the taco trucks on every corner?

I had to give away my tickets for Tuesday.  Got my Hamilton tickets back in July and didn't want to go through the hassle of selling/swapping.  I'm going to be pissed if I miss out on beating #1.

I nominate you for -2 man points. I will await your defense.

Tell you what, I know approximately zero students read this site and I complete understand in this day and age of college if they have something else going on to where they cant make the game. But going to MU basketball games were my favorite part of being at Marquette. (especially my first two years)

Hell, even waiting outside for ages was fun. We came up with some clever games, including the line olympics.

I'm a student so I guess you know one now.

Marquette fans are like White Sox all other non-Green Bay Packers sports fans.  You have to be near first place for fans to show up.

FIFY.

Honestly, there really is no excuse for students not to be there...given the drive some of us make to go to games, why can't the students show up?? That being said..This is what happens when the program has been bad the last 3 years. Stop losing at home and they will come.

Here's a few:

1. "just not a basketball fan"

2. "Taking a grad level class at night" (means strict attendance policy)

3. working

4. The team's been terrible for their entire tenure so they're apathetic, so it's more something random to do on a Saturday than a weekday.   

5.  "we're going to lose anyways" kind of relates to the basketball team having been bad their whole tenure but in a different way.

These are probably the biggest thing.  There isn't a single undergrad (on a normal four year schedule) that has seen postseason play.  Stark contrast to those of us who had teams that were a given to make the tournament every year.

Lower bowl full.... upper in student section.... empty

Maybe half full? Apparently they did have excuses.

[ecompt]

Those students who didn't show up don't deserve a winning team.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Did they not show up? The atmosphere looks amazing on the tele

[tower912]

A good court storm can help boost student attendance. 

[chapman]

Looked very good on the screen.  They filled the...court

That's because 90% of them were weirdo 40 year olds ai'na?

Just so you all know, I did change my Hamilton ticket to go tonight. Worth it!

  Smart Choice, YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT.  And Hamilton will fade away in Time.  What a Thing to Remember. Congrats

Thank god.

I did not.  Hamilton was great, but I just wish I had been in the room where it all happened last night!

Would that be the room where the actors put on all their makeup or the room where you confess your sins to the priest?

The time of your post was critical, fully 5-10 minutes prior to tip.  At its peak the students were filling about 1/3 to 1/2 the upper.  Those that were there experienced a special night.  I suspect Saturday's crowd will be good.
