Northern Kentucky University 2017/2018

Conference play will be much better for UC. They drew 8,100 against Mississippi State which was their only non-conference draw.

 

Oh for sure. Just need to get to that part of the schedule.

 

I think Memphis on New Year's Eve will be hopping.

I may try to go to this one! I've only been to BB&T once this season and that was for NKU-EKU. Hope to make a few more NKU games and one or two UC games.

[camelman]

Curious how many games you've been to so far @camelman?

 

Zilch. Going to take more than the Bereas to motivate me to make the visit.

[Money]

So if you have no interest in going to see NKU play why make a comment about their attendance? Why do you care?

 

NKU has come a long way. The program is moving in the right direction.

 

Do you have some grudge against NKU?

[UKMustangFan]

:lol2: Love when people try to take shots on things they know nothing about.

 

NKU's attendance last year, which it's up pretty significantly from this season, was in the top half of D1. To say it's dreadful is one of two things....A complete lack of knowledge of college basketball or simply an axe to grind against the school.

Sorry. This NKU alum forgot to check with you before I commented on the attendance. Would have loved for them to stay DII and in Regents Hall.

To be exact NKU was 161st out of 351 last year.

They are currently 132nd.

 

Attendance is up 15% over last year.

[ColonelPops]

South Carolina State is averaging 119 per game.

[camelman]

NKU men averaged 2,824 per home game last season. This season will probably end up being just a shade over 3K, for about a 200-per-game boost for making the NCAA tourney.

Nothing better than the person that complains and wants to discuss attendance but is part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

[MJAlltheWay24]

Why?

[MJAlltheWay24]

So far this year, NKU attendance is dreadful. Biggest crowd was just over 4K to see the Norse play Morehead State on a Saturday in the 9,400-seat BB&T Arena. UC just attracted almost 6K on a Tuesday for a game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. I don't see things improving any for NKU when the conference portion of the season begins.

 

We are just going to leave out the fact and pretend that this game wasn't right square in the middle of the biggest College Football Saturday of the year as well, Championship Saturday.

 

Calling it dreadful thus far is a joke to begin with, but they'll absolutely see an uptick after the New Year when they get into the heart of conference play.

Nice math.... I guess.

 

NKU through 6 dates this year is averaging just under 3,200 per game. NKU last year through 6 dates was averaging just over 1,900. What does that project out to over the course of the season? I do not know; however, I can tell you there has been a boost to date.

 

Rome wasn't built in a day. This is a program I believe in its 6 year at D-1 level, its second year of being eligible for the tourney, with just one winning season at the D-1 level. The trend is nothing but positive at this point.

 

If 4,700 (1/2 of BB&T) is the benchmark for D-1 attendance success. There are a lot of failures out there.

[ColonelPops]

If we look at the 3 D1 home games thus far the average is 3774.

 

D3 games have hurt the average.

Will be a fun thread to visit come March when we have real numbers for the 2017-2018 season.
