Fun game. Big win. Pleasantly surprised. Quiet pig fans around me.

It’s pretty sad when you have to beg the opposing team’s fans to come out to future games
we should have a decent crowd for LSU, well, if the Tiger fans show up


66

I would think Tiger fans would show up since its in Baton Rouge this year.

The AAC, especially after the addition of Wichita State is a power conference in basketball. As UH becomes a factor in the conference race, they will start to draw better. Making a push this year would add to the bump that attendance will get from the Fertitta Center. Sampson has done a nice job. UH is fortunate to have somebody that isn’t looking to jump to a “big school” and interested in building a solid program

College basketball is my favorite sport and my team is 1200 miles away so having really good CBB to watch in town would be nice since the Coogs are one of my adopted schools.

Guess I need to pay attention LOL

This 11 am tip on Wednesday has me a little worried. Coming off a big win, probably a smaller crowd on a Wednesday morning
 I am enjoying last night’s victory - it was the first home game I missed this season [Wednesday will be my 2nd]. Hope more people can start making it out to see them play.

I think we’ll be OK. Fairfield isn’t very good.

Crowd may be good as they’ll be busing in a bunch of elementary school kids.

Great Victory

Enjoying TSU while we wait for renovations to complete esp. the Jambalaya at the concession stand.

(still pretty amazed a camera phone can take this good a shot and send it to the Internet immediately)

They’re bussing in a bunch of Houston area school kids to the game. Basically, field trip day for the kids.

Game is against Fairfield so they weren’t expecting a lot of fans and UH students (finals week) to show up.

I really, really, really like this idea. I know it’s not great for the general basketball fanbase
but this game, seemingly meaningless to most of us, could be a life changer for some of these kids. Sitting in the crowd might be a future UH optometrist
or a future UH hotel manager
or a future seven foot starting center for the Coogs. Just a game on paper might be an event that opens the eyes of a young kid who might find their future path leading down Cullen.

To me, bringing these kids in is the epitome of #ForTheCity. Good job UH athletics.

Now, CKS, go show these kids what a future NCAA tournament participant looks like
and let them know their futures at UH are unlimited.

Glad we decided to do one of these. The D-League (not calling it G-League) has been doing it for a few years. Also the pro league in Canada does it.

Is there any link online to watch the Ark game? Sadly missed it.
