Is this the worst MTE in the country?

I saw a couple clips UR posted to IG and those numbers seem very suspect. Multiple angles show many sections with zero people, and the good seats at halfcourt with very few people in them. Maybe there was one section that had 400 people in it?

Also, hilariously, the MTE website lists out the sections for each team's fans to purchase their tickets. You know, so you can sit with the other guy from your school. (glad that Sec. 9 was not that guy)
I think I saw that. Picture in RTD today had 2 fans behind the players.

317 announced attendance yesterday, 451 today. Think we can hit 500 tomorrow?

Opening Night Lineup - Just for fun

Neither of these guys was really seen as a 3 point shooter coming into the year. Dlo had a career best % as a 4th option last year and was at just 37% and now is a focus of defenses. While it seems Tyne is not a shooter at all. AP also in the 20s percentage wise and Beagle has shot 2 total threes this year.

So yeah, I do expect things to stay awful from 3 as teams begin to smother Roche and Dusan is only viable bench alternative.

Gonna be a long ride.

Yeah, the DLo regression was predictable. he was never a good outside shooter & his form wasn't that good either. he benefitted from being a complimentary option last year. To his credit he's stepping up scoring bc nobody else really can consistently but shouldn't be your go to guy without a shot. hard to be that small and no jumper and also be a go to guy but again his effort is 100% there.

I liked Tyne's frosh year & his potential but so far he's flatlined. Regardless, u can't have 20% from 3 even as a bad shooting guard. And we have 2.

What is (maybe) worse is we have 17 assists between both of them. 2 guys. in 7 games. from guards who play all game. 17 assists. I realize more of our assists run through the big man so they won't be as high. But if you're not shooting 3 ball, and not creating for others...umm. They bring some D and ball handling but it's not enough right now on this team.

Also, Tanner in 8 minutes was -9. I think he got burned by 1 or 2 FTs at end too. But this is becoming the norm and would validate the eye test that he's a sieve esp as the on ball defender.

Against LA Tech we were -17 with Walz on floor in 21 minutes. +11 with Beagle in 19 mins. Now Walz got subbed in & burned by 3 FTs at end that had nothing to do with him, but still that is a wild +/- for 2 guys splitting time at same position. Idk how that aligns with past games, hopefully it's not that disparate.

Also, our starting guards are both shooting 20% from 3 on the season. 4 for 20 & 6 for 30.

Amazing!

But not in a good way.

No joke, for teams to have to travel to a place to play for what appears to be maybe 20 people, some of whom appear to be the guys wiping the sweat off the floor or otherwise working the event, the games to be broadcast on a $30 site - is this the worst MTE event in college basketball? I understand there are (potentially) worse fields, but most of those appear to be hosted by one of the teams. So you have to figure they can draw more than 20 people for those games. Additionally, a D2 team is the host and not by some master plan, but by necessity to actually make the games happen. The venue holds 7000. Their website has a picture of Caitlin Clark on it.

It was extremely bad when it was theoretical a few weeks ago. Somehow it is even worse in reality.
