Lloyd Noble Center was a stunning sight Wednesday night.
The seats behind the baskets were virtually all empty for the OU-Iowa State basketball game. The seats in the corners contained scattered fans. Only the seats between the baselines were reasonably populated, and then only in the lower bowl.
The Sooners still sell an impressive number of tickets to basketball. But many of those buyers are benefactors who seem to want to support the program so long as it means not having to show up for games.
Both OU and OSU have gone to great lengths to enhance the fan experience. The Sooners often have NBA-level halftime entertainment, students who purchased a season football ticket get in free to basketball and the marketing never ceases. Crazy enough, this was labeled Fan First Week at OU, with promotions across several sports. For basketball, a ticket to the West Virginia game last Saturday meant free admission to the Iowa State game.
