Imagine if that was our regular atmosphere! It's the "event" thing for a lot of fans, especially in this area. I cannot comprehend sell outs every game, no matter how successful, but that place was rocking for the Charlotte game with 6K+ and that atmosphere would be just fine.

Yeah, when it comes to basketball, it’s really hard to sell out every game (unless you’re a Duke, UNC or Kansas). If we can be in the top 3 of our conference and competing for NCAA tourneys, I would be happy and not surprised if we average 7-8k per game and get 2 or 3 sellouts when we play the important or big games. It’s the experience of the event last night that creates real fans and wins over the “student”. It’s what helps create the connection and memories that our students haven’t had in a really long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious before the game how much of it would be our crowd and how much would be FAU fans making the trip, but it definitely looked like almost entirely USF fans Edited February 20 by GoBulls84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like other sellouts against UF or syracuse where 60% of the fans were theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few ppl scattered FAU ppl around, but I would even say prob more than 90% USF, more like 95%. Fans showed up, and the Team delivered. Hope for atleast 7k on Sunday.
