The posted attendance of 875 did seem overly-generous. I would have guessed 150.

I did notice that the ticket-takers did have "clickers" which they were using to keep the count of the students who enter on their university ID.

So are we now complaining that the attendance seemed too high or are we relieved that just maybe they finally got it right! ;) jc

I think they are resorting to pulling Angel numbers out of a hat. Or maybe they are counting online viewers and radio listeners. Count me twice last night but please work on getting the radio voice more in sync with the video stream.

875 in a nutshell: Stay Focused

Been a rough stretch for sure. My observations from a distance. First, we miss EmClem. No one has really been able to fill her role. The interesting thing is that we have any of a half-dozen players who could do it down the road. I see that is the biggest problem right now. Seems like about everyone we have is a good ball handler, good shooter from deep, able to take the ball to the bucket, etc. Just no who can really finish the deal, either dish it to someone who is open or actually score from penetration. Ideally, you have a mix of players who bring different skills to the table. A couple are big who can play with their backs to the basket and rebound. One or two who are adept at the mid-range game. Several who can nail the threes consistently, etc.

My 2 cents. Take it for what its worth.
Embrace the pace of the race.
