Dyer with the double-double. ISU shot 57% from the line...

How awful is Iowa St? 48 points at home?

ISU only managed 4,500 attendance at home tonight? Don't they have a big arena or something?

Hmm, so we beat Iowa State by 10 at home, they beat them by 12 away...

Hey come on now, we got a whopping 4,818 tonight

Not trying to make any excuses for our crowds, but Chicago State isnt exactly a team that people will get excited about. Many of our fans have steadily bailed over the past several years (save for a decent rise in attendance in the '04-'05 season) and havent gotten back on board yet. We have a couple solid home games coming up with UIC and Cincinnati that should draw pretty well, then conference season starts soon after that. If we are playing well and still drawing in the 5K range at that point, then I'll start getting upset.

[Da Coach]

That is an improvement. Keep winning and those numbers will keep getting better.

Yes...and Wesley Johnson (Iowa State's best player) played against UNI (and had a team-high 18 points) while we faced them without him at Carver.
Needless to say, what some people have viewed as 'big wins' over Iowa State and Iowa are looking more and more pedestrian by the day.
Those teams have combined to go 0-4 since they faced BU...
