That alone would attract a bigger crowd, and even better players. Who wants to play in front on 500 a game when it could be 2,500 a night? (Whit holds 6,000 I think but they would be lucky to get half that). I doubt it will ever reach the level of our hockey team, but UNH basketball has the potential turn into a decent small conference school. Herrion has done a good job, before him the program was very weak. It's going to take another 3-5 years for UNH to become a premier AE team, but all you need to do is get hot in the tourny.The New Hampshiritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02451642892012976773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986803737547990443.post-24495541964448716332010-01-28T18:38:13.810-05:002010-01-28T18:38:13.810-05:00The win was a big step for UNH basketball.

UNH needs to consistently field great talent year after year. With strong wins like UVM and other AE teams, UNH will get some attention. Once we get talent going, fans will start showing up.<br /><br />The next step is to move the games of the fieldhouse and into the Whit. With more fans and a bigger area for big market and media, UNH will get more coverage on its games and attract other big schools, possibly a team in the Big East if we ever get to that point. Having games in the Whit makes it more marketable. <br /><br />With all these, we should have the making of a UNH basketball team with a strong shot of grabbing the AE tourny bid. Alot has to happen, I just don't see it happening during our time here at UNHD.R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986803737547990443.post-87077862590186167492010-01-28T17:27:19.038-05:002010-01-28T17:27:19.038-05:00I went yesterday, mainly for the free t-shirt, but...I went yesterday, mainly for the free t-shirt, but it was an amazing game with great dunks by Tyrone Conley. It was packed for the first part, but at halftime tons of people left and there was plenty of space for us. I'll admit, my friends and I left before the final buzzer, but there was 1:30 left in the game and it had just become a game of fouls with the score well-decided. I can see what Mutnansky's saying, however. It's fucked up to just see a wave of people leaving while the game is still being played. After seeing yesterday's game, however, I'll definitely try to catch a couple more home games when I don't have class.Rustynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986803737547990443.post-13205011176494622692010-01-28T17:16:51.191-05:002010-01-28T17:16:51.191-05:00I'd walk out on a basketball team that's w...I'd walk out on a basketball team that's winning a game if they are inferior to Umaine... which UNH is... so good call by those in attendance, don't pretend to be fans just because you beat UVM...The Maine Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206274858663354085noreply@blogger.com
