Ftr, that's not showing the student section for Penn State not that it's probably any better.

Anyway, NIT attendance is always low the first game. Alabama's was. But by the time we played Miami it was full.

NIT sucks. Even the students have to pay for the tickets, and the arena is completely neutralized. I think there should be at least some home court feel to it.

Mizzou gave the first 500 students free tickets, and for Sun's game tickets are free for all students

This I was completely bored out of my mind during the five minute T.V. timeouts, and half-time

Nothing to brag about, but Georgia probably had around 5k in the Coliseum.

Half-full (8k), about all you can expect for a Tuesday night game with a 8:00 tip, if it was a 6:00 tip the number would been around 13k.

Dey charge for students to attend even if you bought student season ticket combo, and charge $10 for everyone else

Yeah, that's why taking a picture of one section is a retarded way to judge it. You could probably get an empty section at any SEC football stadium when we're playing cupcakes

I liked when Bama hosted the NIT. Tuscaloosa Toyota usually buys a shite ton of tickets for the students, and the fact that the game is general admission means you don't have a bunch of old farts that refuse to make any noise filling the lower stands.

Obviously I would prefer them being in the NCAA tournament though.

Precisely why I had the most fun at our NIT game last night since UF was at Mizzou.

Gabe DeArmond @GabeDeArmond
Got to give the few thousand fans here some credit. This is as loud as many games that had 2-3x as many. It's the true diehards here tonight


Gabe DeArmond @GabeDeArmond
Haith thanks the fans that showed up called the energy "outstanding"


fricking donors sit on their arse, and act like fricking zombies... they have haunted houses for that, or funeral homes if you're dead

Are you really bitching about $5 and $10 tickets?

Mine was FREE I can be viewed directly behind the antlers , and no I'm bitching because they give the fricking donors the nice arse cushion chair back seats, and give the students the hard arse bleachers. 98% of the TSF donors were a no show and should have their tickets revoked, or reduction in points
