A&M filled up about a third of its allotment at Charlotte on Friday. Lipscomb filled up their entire allotment. Maryland Baltimore County brought twice as many fans as A&M.

Things will change this weekend as I hear the donors are snapping up LA tickets. Crowd shouldn't be a factor this weekend like it was with UNC.

I think the Gonzaga/FSU fans will also be pulling for us to knock out the higher seed (and that FSU wants blood revenge in the Elite 8)

Crowds didn't seem to be a factor. Maybe a let down, but not a factor.

We're the second closest school in miles to LA. 285 miles less than Gonzaga. They have to fly too.

Of the 8 schools in Charlotte, we easily had the least fans in attendance. I'm thinking we had maybe 300

Yeah the fan support in Charlotte was disappointing.

Having less fans than Providence was surprising to me.

People didn't go because Starks doesn't play defense.

Wasn't an ideal location given we just played a bowl game there. I think had it been somewhere a little bit more interesting, more people might have gone. That, and I guarantee you most people didn't think we were going to do very well and didn't want to fly back to Charlotte for more disappointment.

Considering how the season went, and the location, anyone surprised we had a low turnout is delusional

I guess I'm delusional. Providence has about 4,000 students. We have 68,000. Just thought we could at least match them.

Look, most Aggies don't care about basketball. But that will change after our championship this year.

I'm on record of turning down the trip because I couldn't find the motivation to support this team. I missed Aggie history because of it. Also missed the only 16 over 1 seed.

Those of us in the Aggie section had a great time. We enjoyed our time in Charlotte and Sunday's game was a blast. The large NC crowd were just waiting to explode and they never got a chance.

I had a blast and it was a great time. The drives back and forth to Atlanta not so much. The Sunday drive was very easy though.

Those who went to Charlotte had a special experience seeing the Ags play their best basketball of the year against UNC and also beating Providence.

I also would submit that our small crowd had no impact on the way this team played.

Yeah I had a blast. I do know that there were a lot of UNC fans upset because our fans "wouldn't sit down" so they could see.

If we had been in Dallas, we would have had a huge turnout still, imo.

Providence has as good a basketball history as A&M and they were a lower seed with a long travel distance. Hard to make those excuses when schools in similar or worse situations bring 3x more fans.

Also, of the 300 A&M supporters, about half of those were TMF employees and team/staff family members.

And until Kennedy benched him four minutes into the game, he didn't play defense and played out of control. It worked. I remember some of y'all complaining that Kennedy sat Starks in the regular season when he didn't do what he was asked to do when he was out there.

eh, Providence has been in the tournament like five years running.

Given that the tournament is on spring break and that we've been far from a sure thing to make it for a lot of the season I'm not surprised our turnout was low, a lot of people make plans for spring break way ahead of time.

Our turnout is usually fairly low anyway unless it's within driving distance, people just don't plan ahead for Aggie basketball. Especially in a season where it felt like we were basically limping to the finish. Hell even most people on this board expected us to lose to Providence.

Figured I would add to this thread ...

I'm going to be in LA for business Thursday and Friday. So if anyone has an extra ticket for Thursday at a fair price ...

I know that there are plenty of tickets on StubHub for very fair prices -- and I'm sure that they will drop. But I would prefer if possible to sit with Aggies.

Please just stop. It's embarrassing to trash a kid like you do. Maybe your employer should bench you until you can figure out how to control yourself.

Also think about how many opportunities Aggies have to travel vs. Providence. I would venture a guess they plan to make the tourney before the season starts and this is their "road trip of the year," much like our bowl games or an SEC road trip. How many Ags that might have gone are planning on making an away baseball series or two?

Personally, I think Providence fans budget time and attention towards a basketball regional every year where Aggies will go if it happens and is convenient. It just isn't a habit for us like many other schools.

Most of the UNC fans in section 115 near us just stood up with us and the few times they had something to get excited about they stood up for their team. Most were just in shock, but we didn't have any issues with the UNC fans.

I supported Kennedy's benching of Starks earlier in the season. I was just having a little fun with you but apparently you missed the joke.

Leaky...save your admonishments to Hop, particularly when he is making his typical A&m fans won't support basketball snarky comments . There is nothing that he does not know nor any lengths to the condescension that he expresses towards the A&M basketball fan base.
