Drake wins and CU wins!

I noticed the attendance for the Indiana State-Drake game at Drake was 7,168! That's about twice what their average attendance was last season...for a midweek game against Indiana State!

DC...I'm not sure how bad you think Drake's attendance was last season, but home average was about 5400.

Still, nice to see a full house last night for a mid-week game with the students on break.

Drake fans are praying that Josh Young's injury isn't as bad as it looks.

You are right, I was looking at 2006 attendance--
the average last year (2006-2007) was 5458. for 2006 it was 4267.

Part of the reason for the huge crowd at Drake last night (7168, the 3rd largest crowd in Knapp Center history) was because it was "Dollar Night".
