My first message on the topic was not in response to you. The concept did not include reference to "conference opponents." You introduced that later.

Either way, it doesn't matter. My point was and is the same.

[I]"I will never understand why he would want to play there. That arena was basically half full with a dead ass crowd. And it’s not like the students are on vacation. They were coming off a huge win against Michigan State and ESPN could not hide the fact that basically only the lower part of the arena was filled."[/I]

People don't go to games just because of who the home team is. If that were true, we'd have the same crowd for Duke as for Lemoyne. People buy tickets to see quality and stars. Our record was 3-4 going into that game, with some disaster losses. We weren't expected to be good—not a quality product. Nothing to do with whether it was in-conference or not. Boston College is in-conference for us. Don't we get considerably smaller numbers vs Duke?

Arena capacity, as you're trying to factor it, is irrelevant.

We'll see if we get 25k for BC [I]this[/I] year. That would be something.
