Summit Tourney Record Crowds ?

Re: Summit Tourney Record Crowds ?

It sounded like the seniors did not even show up for senior night at Vermillion. IUPUI may get one more victory this year when the yotes go to Indiana. Maybe the women will bring a few yotes to Sioux Falls. Maybe not.

Yes, KC has the tie-breaker with USD. Both teams still play IUPUI and WIU on the road. Based on that schedule, I don't think USD is going to pass KC and climb out of that #7 spot. So USD will probably face WIU in two consecutive March games. Those two teams played a very competitive game in Vermillion very early in the season, but it feels like USD has been mailing it in since their Superbowl win.

I too wonder how many USD fans are going to show up in round 1 of the Tourney. I would be very surprised to see anything more than 1,500.

I would guess more sdsu fans will all session passes will be their for their game regardless of the day and opponent then what usd has. Maybe they will surprise me but if they don't play us in the tourney I don't see ahuge usd turn out.

As it stands now, I believe the USD men would play on Saturday. USD and UMKC are tied but UMKC would win the tie breaker with two wins over USD. that would make USD the # 7 seed facing at this point Western Illinois.

Wouldn't USD vs WIU be an interesting match-up? I'm wondering if WIU would have more fans in the building cheering for them (perhaps even some SDSU fans...)?

Re: Summit Tourney Record Crowds ?

With the way the seedings look to be matching up,it appears that a "perfect storm" may be setting up for maximum attendance. Both the Jacks men and women will play on Saturday which will practically guarantee big,if not sellout crowds. And if the standings stay like they are today,both the USD and NDSU men and women would all play on Sunday which would probably result in close to a mens sellout and big crowds for the women. Over 4000 season passes guarantee big crowds,and these match-ups would result in big walk-up sales for every session.

Re: Summit Tourney Record Crowds ?

Do not forget that there will be some viewing on television as well. The Summit League certainly has a bump on the horizon with this visibility and crowds in the building. (Is it too early to say that the Roos BB men will exit early? The Roo women might make semis.) This is a great tournament which ought to be very competitive on the men's side. Get lots of rest ahead of time since this is a hard 4 days for fans as well.

Completely agree. Large vocal crowds. Great games. Super excited.
