I hope those who bought group tickets will do so again for the next home games, individually if not group again. It was really awesome to see the behind the basket seating filled in for once. Made for, obviously, a great atmosphere.

Frats/Sorors need to keep attending too. They were great!

Today was the 21st crowd of 6,000+ at Murphy Center during the Davis era. Raiders are 14-7 in those 21 games.

It was the 13th game of 7,000+. Raiders are 8-5 in those 13.

It was the 9th game of 7,500+. Raiders are 5-4 in those 9.

Overall, this was the 8th highest crowd at Murphy Center under CKD. Only 7 games higher are WKU in 03-04, Tennessee in 08-09, Minnesota in 11-12, WKU in 12-13, Vanderbilt earlier this season, VCU last season, and UAB last season.

It does seem quality of opponent effects crowd. Wish I could say MT fans came out to see MT regardless of the team MT is playing. After Thursday USM crowd, I was relieved to see good crowd Sat vs LaTech.
