It is entertainment for most people, and they had enough (either were pleased enough or frustrated enough) that they decided to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat due to the blowout score at halftime but if they were road warriors-- wouldn't they stick around?My guess is many of them live in Tampa-- I've seen them show up in large numbers for home basketball games here.

It wasn't competitive at all. Of course people are going to leave early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives me nuts. These kids bust their asses all year long and get 6 home games. The least we could do is stay for an entire game win or lose.That's it....dont ever come to a sporting event in los angeles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ask yourself this: It is senior night. These kids busted their ass for 4-5 years. They are playing in their last game at home. It would be nice to give them a standing ovation when they are done. I guess getting to your car and getting out of the parking lot is more important. people putting down their money for a ticket is pretty respectful too meyou ARE in a dream world if you think people will wait until end of a blow out to give standing ovation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I left midway through the 4th....but I had to line up something for later on if you know what i mean lol.In other words, he was afraid the stage seats would be taken and the Mons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
