The first game I think we had 4,500 people here clearly not a sellout but let it suffice to say there's going to be a lot of people here and that's a huge plus.

The first game had 4,645, which would not have been a sellout before, but with areas for kids added, Hofstra lists capacity at 4,645. For any game, there could be unused tickets. Teams make money from unused tickets, albeit not as much as if fans bought food, merchandise, and/or parking (free for Hofstra but not for pro teams). Jenkins's last and fourth-to-last home games had 5,050. I can't find Game Notes of the capacity from then, but the capacity last season was 5,052, so it was equal or close to that in 2010-2011. We averaged 3,073 in 2010-2011, which is our second highest average since 1998-1999 behind 3,623 in 2006-2007. In 2006-2007, Stokes, Agudio, and Rivera, returned, but a weak frontcourt made us a good but not elite team. That was the only time we were picked first in the CAA. We lost at Delaware, who was last in the CAA standings at 3-15. We're at 1,720 now, and if we don't improve it will be our seventh consecutive season under 2,000.

Evan if I remember correctly we were picked first in Green's senior year?? Si?

You're right. I did not remember that.

Yesterday raised the percent of our minutes outside the eight players with the most minutes from 3.1 percent to 3.3 percent. Charleston is over double that at 7.0 percent, and Northeastern is over triple that at 10.9 percent. We were at 9.0 percent last season.

Maybe they did an analysis and determined that they would maximize ticket sales by sacrificing some seats and use the space for entertainment. Maybe without the attractions they only would have sold 3500...

Sounds like many of those remaining "sold out" tickets are selling on teh secondary market. Great to hear!
Not that many student tix left either.

I'm pumped for a strong showing and a good time!

[shbcpa85]

In addition to the sell-out, JWF need 19 points for 2,000. He should able to reach that mark today. A little ceremony would be great.

It's always a good time when we win and hopefully not a one possession game or any O/T's!! Lets cover the spread.

Even if the attractions don't help attendance, we're rarely going to sellout where a capacity of 400 more would have provided much more revenue, especially if they were the cheaper seats.

http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=237156 says both teams are starting their usual starters. William & Mary is starting Luke Loewe (sophomore guard), Nathan Knight (junior forward), Chase Audige (freshman guard), Justin Pierce (junior forward), and Matt Milon (redshirt junior guard).

The Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra College!

[EvanJ]

The video said it wasn't live, and clicking "LIVE" made it go farther behind. Then it stopped working. I'm listening to the Hofstra announcers. I'll try the video again later.

Edit: We're down 6-4 but have the ball after the timeout. Coburn committed his second foul 3:40 in, and Ray came in. Taylor has 3 rebounds and Justin Pierce has 4.

[ProudofPride]

Little Napoleons have a 7 point lead, with 2 free throws after the time out. They're shooting 71.4% and have made their last 8 shots....

Wow

[kerrywoodwins20]

Humiliated at home by one of the worst teams in america

Truly shameful.

Kids should have their scholarships revoked for this gutless effort.

Check the boys for slizzes.

[dutchiedoright]

cold from outside, but audige has 3 fouls. we're a little rusty but gutting it out at this point.

let's go !!!!!

Huh?

44 points in a half at home to the 227th best offense in the nation?

That’s not gutting it out.

That’s a shameful and humiliating lack of effort.

Second part of the first half was much better than the first. Only down 4 at the half.

Are our expectations really that bad?

can some of you post a reply so that we can turn the page over so that we don't have to read kerrywoodwins20's posts ?
