I don't know if the attendance or the starting shane southwell at the 4 is funnier.

OMG I know.  I got tuck blasted on twitter last night for simply saying that shane is not the answer at 4.

oscar was on 610 this afternoon tooting his own horn about putting shane there and how that was the difference to give rodney the spacing he needed to produce better than he did in Seattle.

oscar did this for Rod by changing the line up.

I mentioned this during the Gonzaga game, he had Shane guarding Olynyk and it was ugly.  So the response to this was to start Shane out of position.

we used to make fun of KU for stuff like this.   

K-State has announced tickets sold as the official attendance number in both football and men's basketball for years and years. It rarely matches butts in seats. This isn't new. Last FB season vs Iowa State, the announced was 47392. Tickets scanned and used was more like 35K becuase of the weather.

But, don't let facts get in your way.

[CNS]

we all know and understand that.  He was referencing how KU football announces the sold number while showing stands that have a HUGE discrepancy.  It's one thing to announce a capacity when you see a crowd that is reasonably close to it, it's another to announce a capacity and see something that is 30%-40% of it.  This is why we have made fun of KU football and what they report.

Not always. I guess I like to forget how awful JO and Adrian have been this year. I haven't watched them much.

Per 610 interview today, could tell oscar really likes "small ball".  Not sure if he likes the idea and what he thinks it does for his team, or if he just really enjoys saying "small ball", but he said it like 6 times in a 2 min period today.

We used to make fun of KU for "stuff like this" meaning the huge discrepancies between tickets sold and tickets scanned/turnstiles.  I made no claims regarding KSU making anything up.  Your incredibly defensive response speaks for itself.  I'll just offer that I really wasn't trying to be provocative or suggest that there was an effort to make anything up.  Then again, when every single game so far people have been brought in from who knows where to fill the empties courtside, it says about as much as you did about the defensiveness regarding butts in seats.

I think you mistook irritation as defensiveness. I was irritated that you were implying that this was the first game ever where the butts in seats number was way lower than announced, when in fact it happens alot here. Its happened in MBB for sveral games every year dating back to Huggins.

Attendance this year hasn't been great, not disagreeing with that central point.

[Dr Rick Daris]

are they really pulling randos from up in the stands and using them as fillers for the empty courtside seats so that it looks better on tv? that didn't happen under huggins or frank.

Huge difference between saying there are 12+ when there are only 3 and saying it when there are 9 or 10.  Doesn't come across as transparent at all

honest answer request: are you excited for the future of KSU basketball under the current coaches/leadership? PM answer if needed. tia.

It's dept policy, has been for years. Doubtful they'd change it midway through a season. You didn't notice or complain when the same thing was done in previous seasons...

Yeah, reporting it however the eff they want doesn't seem like a big deal to me.  What does seem like a big deal, and a sign of the apathy of a significant portion of the fanbase, is that there were no more than 5,000 people at the game on Tuesday.  That didn't happen at any time in the last 6 years.

if randos are so stupid that they can't pull themselves down to the empty courtside seats, they deserve to suffer up in the stands.

no. like floor seats where you have to have credentials hanging around your neck or whatever. not just good seats that you can move down into.
