State is playing well right now. More than just the Terquavion Smith show. Burns is enormous and has been surprisingly effective at both ends of the floor. Morsell & Joiner have been playing well and Ernest Ross was key in the win over Miami.
We can beat them, but we will have to play better than we have been and they will need to help with some poor shot selection, turnovers and/or foul trouble on key guys

Pitiful attendance. Hard to blame them. Picture will not load but I can count crowd. Maybe 300.

Smith misses 4 foul shots and does stupid foul just before half.
8- 0 run - down 6. At halftime.

Also slow, poor handle, and gives almost no effort on the boards.
Our leading rebounder is our backup PG

Attendance like that hurts with recruiting. That game would be full of State fans if played in Raleigh. Too bad our program has sunk this low. No one cares to make an effort to come these days. I find it hard to believe we can't get at least 1000 students to an ACC game and the arena is on campus. Batt needs to find reasons for dismal attendance and I get the fact that the team is not competitive. It sure won't be if you lose home court advantage. I guess the easy answer is a coaching change. Has our fan base given up? Attendance says it has. I would attend games when Morrison was coach in the Metro League. Now that was bad basketball.

The reason(s) attendance is so bad are glaringly obvious: The team sucks and it’s boring as hell to watch.
I’m not saying the players as individuals suck, so don’t interpret it that way. The team as a whole, does suck though. If we utilized our players in a way that allowed them to play to their strengths, we might be pretty good. But we continue to try and force a 3-D cube into a 2-D circle. It just doesn’t work, and it’s not possible for it to work. But we keep doing it anyway.
I don’t expect us to be world beaters ever. I don’t even expect us to make the NIT every year. Even the best programs in the country will occasionally miss the big dance and the NIT in an off year. But I do expect us to not be the worst team in the bleeping conference for 2 consecutive years. What a joke that is. There are so many programs doing more with less than what GT has right now. We may be doing less with what we have to offer than literally anybody in the country over the last 7 years. Ironically UGA basketball is right there with us in that aspect. It’s too bad they seem to have gotten their **** together while we are going to be stuck with this joker (imagine having to censor the word “clown” lol) for another season, and then back to square 1.

It filled in some but almost no students. I’d say 3-4k on the high end.

You get what you pay for and GT decided a long time ago what it would be. No one stays or drives in to the city to watch a loser- GT or Hawks. When I grew up during the Cremins years almost every game was sold out and students camped out to go. Have to win.
