In our 5 games played at Bon Secours Wellness Arena this year, we are averaging 2,727


Auburn 4,017
CIU 1,517
Jacksonville 2,007
Tulane 2,867
Princeton 3,227
Take out the non d1 game and it is just over 3,000. I think we have shown when winning we can draw 2,500-3,000 consistently. Should have made Timmons a little bigger. There will only be about 1,200-1,500 sideline seats in Timmons and we needed 3k Saturday.

SC State will be a tougher game than most think. Record is not good but in their last 2 games they lost at #22 Xavier by 3 and to SoCon fav Samford by 7 at home. I watched some of the Xavier game and they looked good, athletic with good size. Coulda won that game.

It's dawning on me that the KenPom Non-Conference Strength of Schedule (NCSOS) is dynamic, not static, and FU's is looking more and more impressive. I could've sworn our NCSOS was in the 200s at one point, and recently. Today it's showing 115 (out of 364). Makes our record even more impressive, if so.

SCSU has a number of grads & supporters in the Greenville area. Hopefully we can have a good turnout next Saturday.
