If anyone hasn’t seen the zips gear thread this week. The Salvation Army on Brittain road has tons of new UA gear with tags. $5 T-shirts, $10 sweatshirts

There’s a lot of football specific merchandise

The upper reserved section at $25 now just seems way overpriced. The first 3 or 4 rows have the railing in the way of the view. It always seems like a very sparse crowd in those seats

Well, I just checked the ticket website. All tickets for the rest of the season have gone up by $5. GA $15, Upper reserved $25, Lower reserved $35, Lower center reserved $55. It seems like the ticket office knows how good this team is now

Devries went 6-10 from 3 in that game, he is a stud. That must've been a weird day on campus at Drake yesterday. The game had an attendance of 4,069. I bet you more people on campus cared about the game than the 1 on 1 debate last night

Can confirm they have some great stuff! They even had a deal tonight 5 items for $20. It seems like the bookstore just donated tons of stuff for a end of the year tax write off. All sizes in youth and adult

BG is 212. That just has to be tough to be 11-4, the best record they've had in who knows how long only to be ranked in the bottom half of the country

The balanced scoring the last few games has been awesome. 5 guys in double figures!

I feel like we haven’t been that bad, just need to string some stops together

The Miami and BG threads were pretty rough lol

This is great, now the athletic department needs to come up with something themselves

No surprise here

Love how steep it is. I can only imagine what one of those Euroleague teams with the supporters sections playing in this place would be like

Today, Akron is 92 in Kenpom. #106 is UCLA. Forget 2022, this is the win over UCLA we have been waiting for!

The fact that we are having this discussion in the BASKETBALL forum, proves that winning isn’t the cure all to attendance. This conversation happens all the time in the football forum. But if we are talking about this when the basketball team is one of the best in Akron history, maybe there is more to improving attendance than just being good

Akron is the final team in the MAC to not lose a game at home this year

I've said it before on here, but UA doesn't prioritize sporting events (other than football) for students. Students honestly don't even know games are going on most of the time. I think the focus on social media this year has been good, but if you ask 10 students on the Tuesday that classes resume if they are going to the game that night they will say "Oh, I didn't know there was a game tonight" from more than half. I think how bad the football team is does discourage some students from attending other sports simply because they think we are bad at everything. If the school did more things to excite students about sports more would show up

Exactly. Minor League Baseball is a good comparison to Mid Major college sports. Both have some die hard fans, but a majority of the people that go to MiLB games go for something else. Whether its a theme, giveaway, or whatever, the entertainment is what makes people come out. We can do more entertainment at games without taking away from the actual product on the floor. The in-game experience hasn't been the same since Covid, and that really does make a difference, especially if casual fans came back to one game after covid, and went home with the mentality of "I can just watch this at home"

FAU loses to Charlotte. 4 ranked teams have lost to untangled teams today. College basketball is weird

The JAR ticket prices are just crazy. You’ve got $10 GA, $20 upper level chair back, $30 lower level non mid court, then $50 lower level mid court. Those prices are just too far apart, especially the last 2. There really isn’t that much of a difference in seating to be charging that much

Assuming the matchups are made by humans, there should be no chance we get anyone other than JMU. We have 3 very winnable games before we get to the Can’t game. We should be 5-0 in MAC play and the clear best team when they decide
