"Then we have to go and win them." We have some tough opponents, but not as tough as a Big 10 team, like Illinois. The Billikens, have some pretty good teams in the mix, like FSU, Houston, and Rhode Island, to name a few. Illinois has more solid teams like Georgetown, Gonzaga, and the Big 10 powerhouses. The big 10 is more of a power conference, but for slu, this is an ok mix of teams. I could see them going at an at-large bid. Though the would be consistent in order to complete it. Can't wait to be a Season ticket holder, been a long time since I went to a game. Didn't go to a lot of Majerus games, haven't gone in a while. Still, remember when Jett was on the team. I like it back then, this time I won't miss passing the opportunity up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Did anyone notice a higher than usual amount of afternoon games this season? I didn’t count but I usually look for one or two games that my older family members can attend and there’s like 6 or 7 home games between 12 and 4 this season.

I count 8 games in that time frame (4 pm start inclusive). Seems like a bunch more than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the answer for this, but I'd love if they utilized YouTube for streaming the exhibition games like they did for Billiken Madness. It worked pretty well and is fairly cost effective.

Attendance will be driven by on-court performance. It will be mediocre at best during most of the non-conference season. Butler should be packed and Oregon St. will be 8k plus. the final non-conference games will be well attended if the team is doing well. If not, it'll be ugly. Once conference play starts I'd expect sellouts or near sellouts for the St. Joes (Friday on ESPN2), Davidson and Dayton. The back end of the home conference season doesn't offer any big name opponents but if we are winning big time and have a top 25 ranking, expect sellouts or close to. If we are on the outside of the NCAA bubble it'll come down to marketing and giveaways to fill the arena. Adman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - there will be lots of packages offered to kid groups so the afternoon games tend to attract more of these then night games. Attendance always starts slow then builds up if we are good.

Not because of the opponent, but because it's on December 30 - a Sunday afternoon at a time of year when many people are taking off work and looking for something to do. We had a nice crowd for Vanderbilt on New Year's Eve a few years back (and I realize that they're a much more appealing opponent, but still).
