Anybody else catch the post-game interview after the JAX St game? Porter finished up with a little salvo about the men's small crowd size, & wanting more of a crowd. Definitely sensed a little anger there.
I think this team definitely deserves better than a crowd average of 2,000-2,500, but that's pretty much former students & locals coming out from Rutherford County.
Hint to the team: maybe you should look at your own student body as well. Coaches & players, take a couple hours & visit fraternity row or the student union building as a group for example, & start building some rapport with your fellow students. The Blue Zoo was a great thing during Kermit's tenure. He worked like hell to get the students involved. Other than the band there's practically zero student involvement. Coaches & players You have a week before the Western game. Get out & start meeting & begging your fellow students now. If you do I guarantee you can get at least 500 if not more screaming students in the Murphy holding up their Blue Zoo sign again.
It's not too late, but you have to start hitting these spots now, & it won't take a lot of effort.

MT is in pretty good shape early in the conference race.

I might make the drive over next Saturday evening. Haven’t watched a good basketball game in person yet this year. Belmont plays Evansville at 1:00 so Ziggy will be in town too. Two games is doable. 😂
