I was unable to watch the game...how did Moses score 7 points?

 

Early And 1 with a nice pick and cut move to the basket from the top of the key.  The other 4 came from offensive rebound put backs.

I think this is going to be the tickets sold vs butts in seat counts.

It was a good crowd and fairly noisy considering real no student section. Not that the student section didn't try, good effort giving their coach and non player the business.

Also, Ben they didn't even let you keep the turkey beach ball? That is weak. And what did the kid win that kept that turkey flying, we didn't hear it.

Okay, I'll give you 12k Norm, but there weren't 16k in there. If there were, then we had about 18k for Wisconsin last year.

And there might've been that many for Wisconsin last year! Not really but I do recall the announced attendance for that game was 15,999. There were obviously more than that. They sold those standing room only extra student tickets for that game where they stood on the open end concourse. I was told they could only announce 15,999 because of fire code.

I just don't understand what they are doing with the reported attendances. They have the barcode scanners. If they are going by tickets sold, wouldn't the reported number be the same or close each game since PBA is essentially sold out? If they are going by the barcode scanners wouldn't it have to be accurate?

I thought it was pretty full last night. We had this discussion in another thread. But I still think it's hard to judge numbers in that building. There were way more than 12k there last night.

Went 3/5 from the field. Had a beautiful 3 point play where he absolutely splashed the freethrow. Looked incredibly fluid from the line on the attempt. High arcing splash.

The best play that he had was the one and I think it was the three point one, where he caught moving toward the basket, took one step and kind of turned and layed it in all in one motion. Looked kind smooth and hope we do it more.
