Home attendance for BE games

I'm so desperate for a decent bball team, I'm not going to say wins have to come a certain way. At this point, just win, baby! Style points are 2nd.

If playing ugly is only going to net this program 1-2 more wins and save us embarrassment in 2 out of 3 potential blowouts, it's not a good strategy. There is not a single soul not already committed to loving SMU basketball who has walked into Moody this season and thought "gee I could really get behind this team and this style of play...I'm going to come back" and to me, that makes the trade-off not worth it. Marginal gains, near un-watchable product.

Did you watch SMU last year or Richmond? What about Georgetown or UVA? Tempo control is just another way to play. People make too much of it. Ultimately, this is a young team, w/a great class coming in, that needs some time to get chemistry.

If your goal is running vs the Big East, I'd ask you where we are going to get better athletes w/o playing aau & grassroots games on the level of Scott Drew? These are programs 'committed' in ways we haven't been since the 80s. You guys ready for that slippery slope?

1. Get the students to attend consistently. Great atmosphere for fans, when students are always there.
2. Accelerate Moody Rennovation. What is the status of the pending project?
3. Embrance the East, which helps recruiting and the quality and brand of BE teams will help create one of the best venues for college BB in all of Texas.

Watched part of the Oklahoma State/Baylor game at Stillwater. Upper level of the arena was nothing but unfilled orange colored seats. That was a big game for both teams and Baylor carried a #7 ranking into the game. Big school like OSU and they are not packing in the crowds either.
