Our worst crowd would be their best crowd.Could be a crappy crowd considering the weather. OSU will be used to that.
We'll have a good turnout.

So depending on how things go on Saturday, if ISU manages to build a decent margin against OSU, do you let him rest another day to make sure he does not tweak the ankle further?
Or does he need some playing time since he has already missed a lot of games already
Lard needs to be engaged when ISU goes to Lawrence
Think he has gotta get some minutes..

The team (and fans) would like nothing better than to get last Saturday's bad taste out of their mouth and protect home court. Coming off a big road win then this crap forecast. Now that the students are back they need to show up 'bigtime' cuz this snow/wind will hurt the traveling crowd. Frustrating weather timing, grrr.
Tend the agree with you. It seems like they don’t fill the balcony unless it’s what they consider a big gameGood luck with the students showing up. They don't even fill 5 rows in the balcony when the weather is nice out. It'll be empty up top Saturday. As I've said before, time to start selling at least the top half of that section to the public, it's a joke.

Last night's game helped a ton for attendance.The team (and fans) would like nothing better than to get last Saturday's bad taste out of their mouth and protect home court.

Exactly. No "name brand" recognition of the Kansas game this year, it won't be close to full the rest of the year no matter how many games we end up winning. Just reality. Sell a couple hundred more season tickets to the public next year and make some money.
You play him. He needs game reps.
Damn, then we will never have a sellout again.Part of it depends on the narrative and momentum of the team. Unfortunately, the schedule doesn't line up very well. We have a winnable home game against a bad opponent on Saturday, then two road games against top 25 teams. Then the next game is at home against WV. Even if we go 2-1 in the next three, the WV game won't have a ton of hype due to the opponent. Ranked Big 8 opponents are what put butts in seats at Hilton. I don't see a possibility for that until Oklahoma in late February. Texas and TCU games should be be decent draws depending on how we're playing.
The buzz around the program just isn't as strong as those Hoiberg teams. The style of play isn't as fun, and that group made a special connection with the fans. And obviously Hoiberg had his own draw.
When it comes to the Hilton atmosphere probably being down this year, it's a little bad luck in the order of the schedule as well as the Big 12 not being quite as strong. The great equalizer is winning, and if we can be in the thick of the conference race, the students will show up.
Didn't OSU just cut three guys or did I dream that?
Maybe they'll forfeit.
You play him if he’s good to go. Absolutely have to have him if we are to have any slight chance of winning in Lawrence. Think our chances are close to zero there if we just play him for the first time Monday.
