I wouldn't jump to that conclusion yet. Uppers were dirt cheap outside Hilton last night, people on here were struggling to get rid of them, and there were a lot of empty seats everywhere else last night too, especially the upper deck.

I moved to this section last night for a little extra room. 215 seems to always have an open block as well.
This is my first year in a while with season tickets and we couldn't get four together so many of those open seats are going to waste. Weather was near perfect for January and I expected a better crowd.
Hilton Magic is about fans helping stem and prolong the momentum created by the players on the floor. If your head coach is going to call timeouts after made buckets in the middle of the second half he doesn't understand what makes this place special.
I suggest people watch this video. Timeouts don't have to stop the magic. This game proved that.
A lot of the "Magic" was created by the personalities of the players at the time i..e. Niang, Hogue, Monte. Collectively they were infectious
This is a sidebar but that timeout just killed everything last night. Score a bucket to get the lead to 6 and call a time out. Huggy draws up a play during the time out, WVU hits a 3 and the game was essentially over.
I 100% agree with this and the one he took last night? WTF. That was like 5 minutes too late and 5 minutes too early at the same time.
We have a bunch of really good guards. thats about it. Nobody on our roster will probably play NBA. Morris, burton NBADL or Euro. We have no post. No rim protector. Everyone we play has this. We are at best an 10 seed if we pull a bunch of wins out.
Got beat by a Bad SEC team team.
Gave up 2 Quality wins at home. got smoked by WVU. Smoked by Iowa who plays a bunch of 18 year olds.
so....are these games must wins?

We only have 13 wins. now. After breaking this down I think we are NIT Bound. I really don't see us beating Tex and Tech on the road.
Lose
@KU
@KSU
@WVU
Gonzaga, Cincy, Iowa, @Baylor, @TCU, KU, @ Vandy, WVU got away
Then a few wins where we shouldn't have won but we did.
I really think we are just not that good.
Final win prediction. 16 wins. 4 seed NIT

You can't dump free tickets on the exchange at all, though. There's a minimum that's often ridiculous for the opponent. I've only had luck there with really "big" games that even those who resell are willing to put up more money. Trying here at least lets me feel like I tried to help someone who's for Iowa State.
People have been saying this all year. This team misses a lot of wide open looks. It is what it is.
So you start a thread saying "Hilton Magic is alive and well," but then you complain about the fans as if it isn't. Shouldn't your comments be in the thread "Hilton Magic is dead?"
That's another thing that really bothers me. We're not that great, we go out there and scrap every game, playing annoying defense with an really undersized team...it's what everyone has wanted for a few years now. It should be a really easy team to get behind with an underdog, little fast hustle guys vs. the tall and talented dynamic.
But, no one is interested in getting behind them they just want to complain about how not tall we are.
Not just the students. The people in the lower level frankly looked like they didn't give a damn if we won or not for 90% of that game.
That's your interpretation of my post. And it's the interpretation I would expect from you. Carry on.
If i could 'like' this any harder, I would. This is 110% true.
The last time I remember us doing something like that was Fred's 1st yr (maybe) The AD had a flash sale for the Baylor game put them on sale Fri. for Sat game if I remember right.
People are complaining because the team is losing and looks bad doing it.
Other than the disappointing attendance last night. The crowd did get into the game in the 1st half. but late in the 2nd half there just wasn't much to cheer for we'd get a bucket but couldn't string 3 good possessions together. I was disappointed in all the people that left. Stay till the end but that's just my opinion.
Haven't left early since I started buying season tickets, same with a lot of people I know. There were a lot of empty seats last night, more than I've ever seen at the end of a game that was well attended.
This game seemed to take a lot out of people. Just couldn't get one to drop. Just like we couldn't get past being 4 down to KU. This one was worse, though.
