The New Miami Old Domonion Box

Random thoughts: 29% 3-pointers to their 42%…And we won big!…We forced 19 turnovers, which was a big plus.

Game officials: Freeman Williams, Lionel Simmons, and Chris Clemons.

2131 in attendance, compared to 2078 for last season’s home opener against Wright State on a Saturday. Lively crowd down the stretch.

That is a quality game from Luke off the bench.

No comparison. Last year there were very few students. VERY FEW.

Tonight the townie crowd was pathetic, but the students were very into it, as Steele mentioned in his interview. If it increases like last year, the latter part of the season will be fun!

Well said. I think it will increase. Would love your thoughts on the game when you can.

Yeah it was night and day. Over 2K on a Monday night with good energy is a good sign.

And best part it seemed like a majority of the student section behind the net stayed until the end

Would love to see 6,000+ for big conference games. Might have to settle for 4,000+.

The “One Miami” and BOGO promotions of the last couple years could get them close to 6k.

It’s been decades since I’ve heard students relentlessly hound someone for an airball every time they touched the ball.

ODU was rattle the second half. The double T seems to be the time gasoline was thrown on the fire!!!

Hopefully the fans show up on Friday night!
