Norse move to 9-3. Head to West Virginia Friday.

Norse played awful except for Carson and Drew at times.

 

Unbelievable they are 9-3.

 

Garrett could be a monster if he tried at all.

Loved the intro video before the starting line up

Coach Brannon didn't look too happy at times

Great job!

Not at all.

From NAIA to prime time. Love the direction the Norse are heading. They need a big year to get butts in the seats.

 

I'm trying to get to a game.

[NKYknowitall]

Not at all.

 

But I can't blame him. They seemed lacksidasical at times and sloppy

Never would have guessed that they'd be 9-3. Hopefully they can keep it rolling quite a bit and don't let a potential bump in the road against WVU derail them. Be nice to see them come out and play a solid all around game, win or lose against the Mountaineers.

Hard to get energy when you're playing a D2 team and there area about 400 people in the stands.

I thought they were NAIA and 2-8 at that.

They'll enter conference play at 9-4. A 7-11 conference record would put them over .500 for the year. I think that's absolutely obtainable based on how they've looked thus far. Definitely about a year or so ahead of schedule IMO. I love it!

Feels like making the change from Bezold to Brannen was the right one?

I posted this in another thread (may keep posting in every thread where NKU's attendance is brought up ). NKU's attendance is pretty NORMAL for mid major D-1 basketball.

 

I think with UK, UofL, Xavier, UC, IU, Ohio State, etc. being so close and all drawing well, that many have a distorted perception of how college basketball at the mid-major D-1 level actually draws. NKU averaged 2,296 fans last year.

 

Here are some other teams of note:

EKU - 2,034

Murray - 3,266

Morehead - 2,920

Western - 3,671

Miami - 1,426

Ball State - 2,763

Bowling Green - 2,261

Akron - 3,351

Tennessee Tech - 1,864

Tennessee State - 2,500

Belmont - 2,536

Lipscomb - 1,794

East TN State - 3,065

 

Detroit - 2,121

Milwaukee - 2,667

Youngstown State - 2,013

Valpo - 3,572

Cleveland State - 1,911

Oakland - 3,097

 

Certainly there are mid-majors in our geography that draw well Ohio U (6,010) was one I noticed and I think everyone would love to see NKU draw better; however, they are not alone or even an outlier in their struggle to attract fans.

Was wondering when that post was going to show up.
