Good chance to showcase the program and area.  5,000 minimum is sorely needed.  Lets all show out and support the program and team.  We beat Oakland once we can make it another time so support is needed.   I'm excited!!!
I hope they raise the general admission stands on west side.  Common sense would say to do it.

Need to have a plan to get more students to the game.   Put them in one section to be scene on tv and then give them all red shirts to wear,  plus anything else to make it a REAL COLLEGE EXPERIENCE.  Come on Athletic Dept don't let this opportunity squander away.

We took care of business in GB.  Now we need to.do the same against Milwaukee.   Be nice going home in 1st place with a TV game on the 27th.  Should undoubtedly be a packed house if not shame on the university and city.

Sales are around 3k from what I hear.   Sections are already sold out in reserve.  GOING TO NEED THE WEST SIDE UPPER BLEACHERS DOWN,,,    STOLLO WE NEED THEM DOWN.

What's Beeghly hold? 6500?
Assuming 3k already sold, how many students on top of that just show up on gameday?

Realistically, would be nice to get 4 - 5k total
Would be awesome if they still had the bleachers behind the dang basket!!

I'd be happy with 4500-5k. Crowd needs to be loud and energetic. Hopefully the students show up!

I believe Beeghly holds 6.300 FANS

Hoping all of you make it down to campus for this one. This team is special and they deserve this opportunity to play on the big stage!

Wfmj reports that at least 3k tickets sold but doesn't include the students and sales at gate.  As of Thursday.   No to bad.   We need to put down the bleachers on the west side to accommodate any extra fans.   Hope the administration does that.   Don't know why they have been shut down this year.  One game was the school game they were open.   That was it.

I see tables set up in that area and people eating and drinking so more of a loge thing .  I think a remodel is long overdue
 Like need to happen this off season.  Remodel should include loges and NO BLEACHERS.  That is so 1970's.

A remodel is coming very soon. They are trying to raise the funds to do it.

Let's get rowdy tonight folks!!

Oakland's point guard was a pain in the a$$ tonight.  Not a lot you can do when he's hitting threes 8 ft pa$$ed the line but I was hoping someone could slow his drives down.

Oakland's zone was difficult and helped control the tempo .

Cohill stepped up as the leader and credit to Myles Hunter who gave quality scoring in the 1st half.

Nice crowd and it looked like the students showed up .  hopefully the crowds keep coming.

What an atmosphere!! The place was rocking. Biggest student section I've ever seen probably ever. Big win and good for the community and this team for showing out for Youngstown on national TV. Let's keep it rolling boys!!

The best basketball student section I can remember-what a great night for YSU basketball and the university!!!

Big home win.. Cohill came on in 2nd half when we needed him...  Now Detroit on Sunday at 2pm.  Be nice to get at least half of the enthusiasm as tonight had.  But their are NFL PLAYOFFS on TV.   I was surprised the attendance was only 3800 in attendance.   I thought it was more.  Oh well. Be happy with 2500 on Sunday.   Watch out for Detroit.   They got nothing to lose.   Watch out for 3 pointers from Antwan Davis.   He hit 9 tonight in loss to RMU

A big win in prime time on national stage.  This team can make some noise. Reminds me of the Mike Rice team talent Wise.  I hope we can keep our coach for a longtime our program needs that. But after this win I’m sure if the team keeps doing well the schools will be knocking on his door.

That was the most electric atmosphere I've ever seen at Beeghly. For a team that really deserves it! They are legit ladies and gentlemen.

I have been watching YSU’s MBB since the mid 1960s. This has to the most athletic team for us. This is probably the most accomplished team considering this is the first year for these 5 guys to have ever played together. Coaching staff has done an excellent job in molding these guys into a cohesive unit. With that being said, having 5 seniors on the team doesn’t hurt either.

3801 fans Friday yet todays game was not as filled and attendance was 4100.  Food for thought.
