Will we see a uptick in student attendance tomorrow night due to Breakaway being held afterward (like we saw against LSU, I think)?

Perhaps some current students affiliated with Breakaway can chime in on their plans...

Breakaway being back at Reed tomorrow (it was at Kyle Field the night of the Missouri game) definitely helps student attendance.

I couldn't find a good photo but you can see in the back of this photo some of the students wearing the same blue shirts and the black shirts that were there for breakaway. Had to be at least a couple hundred extra folks.

I emailed a basketball staffer in charge of marketing to let them know I could get in touch with the head speaker of Breakaway if they wanted to try and do something to encourage their attendance at the game, maybe have them do some kind of competition at a time out or something fun. I was told, "thanks for your interest, I will forward this suggestion to the appropriate person".

Things that are so simple and so obvious are just not being done. It would take maybe 5 minutes of work to get several hundred if not more extra students to the game and they won't do it.

Maybe ask them to wear white instead of their usual blue...

If Breakaway is halted because of a basketball game, would that be considered a clear path foul?

No need to worry about game attendance tomorrow. Reed will be pretty full regardless, because probably about 3000 Kentucky fans will show up.

Will be much less than in years past. UK fans are a bit down on this team plus the game is a weekday. I think all the other UK games have been Saturday's and majority of the people I talked to have come from DFW/Austin/SA/Houston. Doubt many will be coming tomorrow compared to what it's been.

First 2000 students tomorrow get a free BTHO Kentucky t-shirt.

Honestly, if Breakaway kids don't show, there will be maybe 100 students.

I will be there and am prepared for the repeated disappointment I feel toward our students.

Wish I would be wrong.

I won't be.

Current students,

Has their been any hype on campus? Any ads in Batt/sidewalks/etc?

Guessing not, student section (including top) looks to be about 30% full at tipoff.

Lot of UK fans sitting in the season ticket section.

There were about 200ish lower level tickets available from box office about 30 minutes before tip off still...

I would argue this is the "best" student attendance of the season. I wasn't at the Gonzaga game so I can't say for sure.

I would also argue this is one of the worst non-student attendance games of the season. It looks like tons of season ticket holders had....prior commitments...tonight and generously donated their tickets to their closest UK friends.

Yeah it filled up right after tip on that one half lower level...We basically have 3 big segments of student tickets and 1 is now full, 1 is like 75% full and the upper level one is empty pretty much.

Gonzaga I think was slightly better.

This was a good student showing BUT if not for Breakaway, there would have been the usual
200 or so. FRIKKING PATHETIC.
