Only nine times (one of which was a Friday), and not since 1990. Not going to happen.
 
For what it's worth, it looks like closer to 25,000 tickets have been sold for Georgetown, not 29.
 
Some combination of 118,000 people in the next four games would allow us to catch Kentucky. Say, 27,000 for Georgetown (maybe a little unlikely), 34,000 (probably a touch high) for UConn, 24,000 for South Florida (quite unlikely), and 33,000 for Louisville (absolutely attainable, especially if we keep winning) would do the trick.
 
More realistic numbers would be 26,000 on Wednesday (which would be the fifth-largest weeknight crowd since 1993), 33,000 for Connecticut (if we win on Wednesday), 22,000 for South Florida (doesn't matter how good we are or what jerseys we're wearing; SU fans won't turn out on a weeknight for an unglamorous opponent), and 33,000 for Louisville (if we're not coming off a swoon; if we lose three games in the next few weeks, take 1,500 people off that total). That'd leave us a bit short.
 
Looks like the difference between #1 and #2 will have been the stretch that included the tiny Providence crowd, the poor Pitt sales, and the student no-show against West Virginia.
