  1. Curious to hear about the student ticketing process for games. It seems there is always a press to get students to "claim" their tickets early, why? I suppose from a planning perspective it's nice for the AD to know expected turnout prior to game day. What does this do to the student that can't make up their mind or procrastinates and doesn't decide until an hour or so before the game to get out of their dorm room and walk over to DATCU or the Super Pit for the game? How does it work for these students? In the past, the student ID was the ticket and you just flashed that at the gate. Easy-peasy. Let's say a student doesn't have a ticket loaded on their phones comes to the tailgate and decides minutes before kick-off that they want to attend the game. What do these "game-time decision" students have to do to get a ticket for a game?
  2. Are Byes overrated in these tournaments? Is it better to play your first game against another team that is also playing its first game (and all the first-game jitters that may go with it on both sides) as opposed to playing your first game against another team that has a win (or two) under its belt, has some momentum going and has those first-game jitters out of the way?
  3. Still thinking it’s appendicitis for Scott. I didn’t see a hit or collision that would have caused that much discomfort and the pain isn’t necessarily localized. Whatever it is, get well soon Aaron. Maybe gallstone based on where he was holding his abdomen? Whatever it is, heal up fast. We will need you for the big dance.
  4. Did I miss something? Who is wearing the boot?
  5. With the tournament still to be played, the story of the 2023-24 edition of men's basketball has not been fully written yet. While this is far from a exhaustive analysis and only looks at our regular season games, this team was sooooo close to repeating the success we had in the regular season last year. Finishing the regular season at 17-13, our average margin of victory in our 17 wins was 15.12 points. On the flip side, our average margin of defeat in our 13 losses was only 5.38 points. In our 17 wins, 2 were one possession games and 2 more were two possession games. 13 of 17 were double-digit wins. In our 13 losses, 6 were one possession games and another 4 were two possession games. Only 2 of the 13 were double-digit losses. One other was a 9 point loss. Another shot or two drops over the course of a 40 minute game and things may have ended differently and flipped a loss to a win.
  6. Apparently we lost that technology after a very successful national program to build, test and deploy t-shirt cannons back in the 60s and 70s.
  7. Has FAU become our nemesis on the hardwood or what? Maybe we get another shot at them in the tourney and can serve up some Mean Green revenge. Here are the final home attendance stats for the season. The '23-'24 team brought in a total of 61,982 fans to the Super Pit. The final home game attendance of 4,551 was enough to bump our season average another 30 for a 4,132 per game average. That is a 380 or 10.13% per game increase over last season. Fantastic YoY progress and hopefully something we build on next year. In terms of conference home game attendance we fared even better with one less conference game at the 'Pit. Last year we had 10 C-USA conference games at home with an average attendance of 3,975. This year, with 9 AAC conference home games we had an average attendance of 4,628. That's a 653 or 16.44% per game increase in conference games. Again, fantastic YoY progress. Let's beat Rice and make a deep run in the conference tournament. Go Mean Green!
  8. Nice win today. Took control in the first half and never let ECU back in the game. A crowd of 4,241, pushed our season average to 4,102 which is a 9.33% increase over last season's average of 3,752. Well done Mean Green Nation! We have one more home game (one more than last season as well). FAU has fallen out of the top 25, but we still need to bring a good crowd and get a win that has eluded us against the Owls. GMG!
  9. Congrats Rick. Now that you have some free time on your hands, you'll finally be able to do something for your alma mater! I kid, I kid!! Enjoy the next phase.
  10. As is often the difference between a win and a loss, as a team we were solid from the charity stripe last night (20-25 - 80%).
  11. Two consecutive 5K+ attended games makes it feel like we may have finally turned a corner on the attendance front. Disappointing game and as others have pointed out we should have called a TO after crossing mid-court to take a breather and set something up. I don't recall which one it was, but we left a TO on the board during our last possession in least one other game we lost. Coaches and players need to have some situational awareness in crunch time, but mostly coaches. Apparently we can build a lead, we just can't hold on to a lead late in games. Need to get some confidence back these next 4 games and make some noise in the tournament to save the season.
  12. Maybe that's why...it will be like a rest. Hahahaha. Can't take anything for granted anymore. Need a win.
