"They had an answer for everything, they really did. ... We kept telling our team, 'You have no idea how hard these guys play.' ... It turned out to be one of the dramatic finishes I've ever been a part of. I can't say enough about how good South Florida is, how good a coach (McCullum) is."

I don't expect USF to ever average 9K for bball. Not gonna happen.if bob huggins was our coach they would bring in 9khowmany were there today?9000! The same old 4000 fans plus 5000 Probation and Correctional Officers.Published attendance = 4300 Marquette had a lot of fans in the stands.When ND comes to town there could be as many Irish fans in the building as there are Bulls.

They may not do it immediately, it may take a year or 2 of consistent winning, but USF can fill the dome. It is possible.Note: It doesnt take much to make the Sun Dome electric. That place gets LOUD pretty easily. I dont know if it's the roof or what, but the echo in there is loud.PLYWOOD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else and it's a bad investment.Throw out the money and use the same tactics (let the staff do all the work) will be futile. Well, the thing that I'm counting on is our AD came from a school with a successful men's bball program...A school without FOOTBALL.How successful was St Louis basketball? I know they did extremely well attendance wise....but how many conference championships did they win during his tenure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only take about 4000 or so. The students need to show up in force for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
