Barclays holds 3,000 less than Greensboro. That alone counts for an attendance difference of 42,000 (assuming 14 games).
So the difference isn’t as stark as it’s being made out to be.
edit: Greensboro actually holds 23k+, to Barclays’ 19k. Over 14 games, that’s 56,000 less seats available. That’s almost the entire attendance difference. So the issue is venue size, not location.
Was gonna say, who gives a shit about Greensboro? Lol weak rebuttal on their part.lol at the city of Greensboro. Not a good look there
That argument would make sense if either venue was actually selling out. Here's a better way to look at the results:
141,159 / 13 = 10,858 (Syracuse didn't compete in 2015)
82,390 / 14 = 5,885
+ 4973 a game for Greensboro, which is also an 84.5% increase from Brooklyn. That is significant.
Kentucky was played out of state, and you can't discount Maui just because it doesn't support your argument so that looks like 5 games to me.So the same as 99% of other power programs?
Make sure to shout from the rooftops that Boeheim should start scheduling games like mid majors. Let me know how it goes.
edit: for comparison, MSU plays one OOC game out of state, against Seton Hall. You’re in the Maui Invitational, but that’s not controllable because the invites rotate. Cuse would go there if invited and has multiple times. So your own school doesn’t even schedule more out of state games than Syracuse, but you want to throw rocks?
Huh? What's the difference between what Auburn did last year and What South Carolina did in '17?What pearl has done as a coach is more impressive to me than anything any of the guys at the historical powers have done. Especially when you compare the resources those guys have done it with. Pearl would Have won more titles than cAlipari had he been at Kentucky the last 8 years. He would have IU back to the height of the knight days. What he has done at Auburn is nothing short of amazing.

Capacity influences open seats. If Barclays gets less than capacity to show up, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t sell more seats if capacity was higher. Say Barclays was getting 18k out of the 19k cap. If the cap magically increased to 23k, attendance wouldn’t stay at 18. It would probably inflate to 21 or 22k.
Whiner. Yes
Cheater. Yes

Both teams took on water during the season, both teams were loaded with really good veteran players and both teams peaked at the right time.
Great, y'all made a ff with a veteran team, it's impressive, but definitely not as impressive as what the blue bloods have been doing.
Auburn has the same opportunities as the Blue blood programs do. A lot of these top 10 kids are going to the Missouri's, the LSU's, the Oklahoma State's and the Oregon's of the world, so it's not like UK/duke/unc/ku are getting all the blue chip kids and besides that, Auburn had a stud recruit last year.
So what makes Auburn's run more impressive than anyone else's run? Heck, I'd take Virginia's turn around run last year over just about anyone's run in the modern era.
5,885 / 19,000 = 31%
10,858 / 23,000 = 47.2%
Edit: Looks like the NCAA attendance for conference tournaments only captures 7 games. Early rounds aren't factored into the calculation.
So, the numbers would be...
Greensboro, 2015: 141,159 / 7= 20,165 average (87.7% of capacity)
Brooklyn, 2018: 82,390 / 7= 11,770 average (61.9% of capacity)
Either way, Greensboro is a better venue for the conference.
"The NCAA has suspended Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim for nine games and imposed harsh sanctions on his program because of violations involving academic misconduct, extra benefits and the university drug testing policy that occurred under his watch for more than a decade"
Barclays was damn near half empty? Jeez
at least someone gets to
lol that's rough, man. I'll try to put in a good word for ya.

My gf, who worked for an obgyn, hands him a handful of KY samples. Doesn’t bat an eye, just shoves them into his pocket.
Truer words have never been put in text my friend.There are things you ask a sleep-deprived woman recovering from surgery while breastfeeding a newborn and trying not to murder her toddler, and things you don’t ask.
That’s funny, IDGAF who you are.Later that week . . .
