Isu 94 - siue 62

You guys have almost 3,000 no-shows too?

We have over 3,000 student season ticket holders. Most nights especially early on we get 500.

So that's 2,500 right there.

The lower bowl is completely sold out. So any empty seats around the entire lower bowl are paid, season tickets.
 
I do agree completely with this part. I think it has a huge impact, in addition to people wanting to stay in on Sundays.

Thanks amckillip. I personally don't agree with it, but I do know people that think watching NFL on Sundays and staying in with the family is the way to go on Sundays.

ISU should have scheduled this game for 4:05pm. Give people the opporunity to watch the Noon games and take your chances going up against the 2nd half of the 3pm kick-offs.

In year's past this game probably would have been Saturday, a few hours after the football game. But this year Redbird Arena was booked with the IHSA Volleyball State series (championships).
 
5200? You really thought the Civic Center was LESS than half full? :roll:


No sorry I meant 6200. A close friend worked at the PCC for many years and he gave me a real easy way to estimate attendance.

He divided it into 5 seperate areas and gave me numbers of what each area holds. The lower bowl, both upper end zones and both side zones = 5 areas.

The lower bowl was 90% full, sides were about 70% and both end zones were empty.

So that put us at 6000-6500 giver or take.....

You can't count your golf score..... or even your pop-a-shot score!!
How can you count 6,500 people?
 
While I don't accept the "Bears game" excuse, I do think the fact that Bradley was playing SIUe for the MVC soccer championship Sunday afternoon probably did cut into the ISU crowd significantly. :)
 
As far as the game was concerned...

Minute breakdown:

Clark 28*- 4 points, 9 boards. Improved in every way from last year. Still needs a better first step to get around defenders.

Ekey 26*- 6 points (2/3 from 3), 1 board, 4 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks. Might be coming for Jackie's freshman blocks record. Amazing elevation and quick leaper. Wouldn't be surprised to see him start every game he ever plays at ISU. HS teammate of Justin Clark.

Cousin 21*- 6 points, 3 assists. FAST. Similar mold to Lloyd Phillips which we will need.

Rubin 21*-8 points. Team leader. Bulked up. If we can get 5-8 a game from him that would be a huge bonus.

Mishler 21- 18 points, 2 boards. Nice to know we have a serviceable big guy if Jackie goes down. Won't wow anybody, but gets the job done. SIUe's bigs were bad.

Smith 21- 2 points, 3 boards, 3 steals. FAST. I know t posted about some of his shooting struggles in JuCo, but I don't think that will be a problem at ISU because he won't be asked to shoot the ball. Pass first PG.

Lewis 13- 10 and 6. Had 3 turnovers. Looks to have trimmed down a bit and seems faster without losing any of his strength. Coming off a foot injury.

Hill 12- 6 points, 2 boards, 2 assists. Battled sickness and injury in practice. Will be seeing a lot more minutes when healthy.

Blue 16- 14 points. Very fast even though his ankle was hurting him. He can get to the rim which is something we will need from a few of our guards.

Carmichael 13*- 18 and 5... His health will be the difference between a top 4 finish and a play-in game.

Upshaw 6- I don't see him making an impact this season. Seems to have the athletic tools, but cannot shoot the ball.

Coates 2- Good weekend for Richwoods!!!

Threloff 0- Looks like a redshirt candidate, but that could change if Jackie can't stay healthy.

*starter

Very good start to the season. I'm filled with skeptical optimism. The defense still needs work; slow feet, closing out, etc. but the talent is there for a surprise year this year and a very bright future in the next 2.

Any questions... Let 'em rip!
