Last game of the regular season. A bid on the line. Senior night with the game being played Saturday 8:30 and we can't fully support our team.
If that happens, shame on us.
We want to be big time. But if this game isn't a near or actual sellout are we really a big time program?

Hope we all do the right thing - This Team earned /won our hearts -- they deserve our respect and attention
This is the game to invite every youth group in the area to.
It's killing me to have to stay home and not honor these young men who have given so much enjoyment to us all.
With spring break in session that means student turnout will be affected. But what excuse do we have?

Semi-related note, I love the emails that get pushed out by Prudential Center:
Doors Open: 7:30pm.
Game: 8:30pm.
*All guests should allow at least 45 minutes for security checks*
Well, security checks only happen inside the doors. And if the doors only open 1 hour before the game, it seems pretty tough to allow 45 minutes for security checks but ok.
*It's Senior Night! Please be in your seats by 8:10pm to give our seniors a huge ovation*.
Ok, but if the door opens at 7:30 and I have to potentially allow 45 minutes for security screening, that puts me at 8:15pm
In all seriousness though, if they are doing a pregame ceremony, it would probably be helpful to open up the doors a little earlier than usual. It does take a while for people to get in, get food, get settled, etc. Our players deserve all eyes on them.

Other than DePaul and this year only at Georgetown, who else has a coach that has to beg the fans to attend a senior day?
It could have been predicted months ago that this matchup would be a yawn.Athletic department should have organized discounted ticket sales for young kids and students in the area.Some type of giveaway to get people there.
maybe too many fans with ptsd from end of year depaul games with tournament on the line
This is the easiest and simplest answer. Therefore SHU could never have thought of this.
SHU needs a lot of help with outreach and marketing and buzz creation. It’s bad.
Start the chant for our best Seniors who have another year…. Richmond and Davis….One More Year!…one can hope and they deserve it.
That’s not a new problem. LOL. I was an undergrad 40+ years ago…has been a problem since…and for most if not all of the years since.
Unfortunately Spring Break this week. However students were great on Wednesday. Also on a side note, if the Pru Center opened more concession stands, sell the $7.00 Mich Ultras in more than one hidden stand, etc. fans would be more willing to come.
Sell the Pirate beer for $7.00. That one helps our NIL, right?
Discounted tickets almost all gone!!!
Got some nice seats in section 6 on Stub Hub for a decent price! Still a decent amount of seats to buy for less than $50
Gotta honor our seniors!!
Let kids 12 and under in for free.Hand out a photo of the 5 Seniors with Sha at the Rock entry points and have the Seniors sign the photo at the end of the game.This is not rocket science marketing.Get out in front of things as opposed to waiting for disaster to strike.Schools job to get fans excited who have plenty of other things going on in their lives.
Wish I could attend but I'm in South Carolina and will be watching on FS1.
I just saw some last game at the beer stand directly to the right of the escalator on the east side of the building.
Was slightly better than a DePaul crowd. The first half was nothingness, some juice when we stretched the lead but nothing like the bigger home games.
Student section a mess again.
Oh and crazy weather was like a summer storm pouring and wind up here. 🙄

For the conditions outside and the start time, I was very pleased with the Crowd --nice show by both Team and Fans
I’d say well over 8. The student section and areas on that end has lots of empties.
I get the opponent, weather and student issues, but that still kind of sucks for this surprise season on a Saturday night. And look I wasn’t there either because of family obligations, so not casting blame. But thought it would be better for the seniors especially with all the discounts etc
A game like this is just not a draw for the casual fan for multiple reasons. Plus got to figure if casual fan picked a game this week many picked Nova.
Crowd was fine. We won which is all that matters.

I was very pleased with the turnout tonight. Four hurdles leading up to the game, a late Saturday start time, playing lowly DePaul, miserable driving conditions, and students on spring break. I was expecting that we'd be half full, but the lower bowl was pretty full except for the student section and that's on the university.
I ordered through the brewery originally and tried a reorder recently and it looked like it was discontinued, is that not the case?
Btw. Good crowd. Except student section.
It was a late game. The weather was awful. And Seton Hall was playing.
I dont get the students. Other than the student section the crowd was good. Surprisingly good. The corners behind the basket by our bench were full.

This year for the most part the student section was as bad as I can remember. Except for a few games they gave little juice to a team of fellow students and overachievers. Short of two of the worst teams in Big East history, Georgetown and DePaul you saw this nowhere else.
Sure there were excuses, aren't there always? But those same excuses existed in the past and the students showed.
