A group of us went to game and had a great time, but all the open sections really shows how far this game has fallen.

Used to go to games in the 90s with my Dad and G-pa and it was such a hot ticket they would struggle to find good seats.

Not any more, open seats everywhere. The last couple of years my Illini friends would joke about the size of the Mizzou crowd, but this year they were just as small.

People don't realize just how much damage the Anderson years did. Frankly, it started long before that; none of the coach's since Stewart have excited the fan base.

This team will have to be a consistent winner for a long time to fill those seats again

I don’t know about this, the arena sold out pretty good when Mike Anderson was coach... then the dumbie left for Arkansas

Stewart's last so many years as coach was awful. If you remember he was forced to retire. Good coach that could get you to the tourney, but as they called him...one and done Norm.

Norm never cared about the Tourney, he wanted to win the conference. Which meant during the latter half of his career he drifted out of touch with both fans and recruits. It was sad to watch, but damn he was good in his prime.

Yeah, the decline started then. There were good times now and then, but the overall trend was down hill, hitting bottom with Anderson.

yep. Stewart's teams always left their best game in the conference tourney and were spent by the time they got to the NCAA. The other top coaches let there teams coast in the conference tourneys and pointed to the NCAA. Norm never caught on to that. Which is why we tended to underperform in the NCAA and never made it to the final four

Quality win. I was not expecting this. It’s easy to realize how badly this game has fallen when it’s relegated to SEC Network with a lousy start time. A few years ago it was stuck on Big 10 Network. The game used to always be on ESPN or ESPN2 at night.
