I hope. UConn fans I have spoken to are passing on this game because of the late week night start. The Maryland game from a few years ago (picture Ollie throwing papers onto the floor) was a disaster catching that midnight train in a rush (next train after midnight is 1am) and I think people are steered away from that. At least the few I’ve spoke to.

It's possible. The turnout for the Nova game last year was incredible but that was a Saturday. 50-75% of that would be great. Indiana fans are taking notice of how we turnout at the Garden

My 2nd biggest client is a major retailer with an upper tier box for all Garden events. I was invited to go to the game Tuesday but have to be in Toronto for meetings with a division of their biggest rival. Who happens to be my biggest customer. I'd start a poll here if I knew how.

I'm torn. I've watched more than a dozen concerts/sporting events in that sky box and it's insane. But business is business and the ROI in Canada is much greater. Would be a no brainer I'd be at the game two years ago but the tariff war with China has made every deal crucial these days.

I bought $10 worth of Power Ball tickets today and holding out hope those fin ping pong balls make my decision for me at this point.

I will take the Garden gig for you. You really should be in Toronto.

I'm the "in" though, 8893.

Trust me, they have to account for all guests so they can write the expense off as business but that doesn't mean the rules can't be bent. My buddy is a 49yo, 6'4", 270 lb Portuguese dude but I somehow passed him off as the son of my Chinese factory owner who is 55 to see AC/DC with Axl Rose filling in for Brian Johnson a few years ago.

If I win Power Ball or make a dumb decision and decide to go, you're my plus+ 1, I promise.

Indiana 100% had a better turnout than UConn in 2013-14. Probably 60-40 and even that might be generous to us. They also all wear the striped red and white pants

To @gtcam point I think it will be different this time around. No holiday, game not on a weekend. Indiana does have a decent alumni base in NYC but I was at Rutgers/Indiana @ MSG last year and it was a turnout UConn should outnumber.
Yeah but last time ( two times?) we played them they’re fan base showed up. Plus we’re UCONN, not Rutgers
