Add to that the the games take a bit longer as they have TV time outs....unlike webcast normal D3 games.

For the semis, I'd imagine that Hope and WashU will have big crowd advantages over Rochester and Amherst, respectively.  If Hope and WashU face off on Saturday, I'll be curious to see which crowd can make Shirk feel 'like home'.

That's a challenge for you guys! ;)

Last Fri & Sat's attendance at Washington U was 431 & 497. 497 fans for Washington U against George Fox?? Where was Washington U's fan support for that home game? I think Hope will have the fan advantage easily if both teams advance.

Depends also on the B-N 'regulars' - I don't know for sure, but would guess they would go more for WashU.  So you might have more to overcome than WashU partisans, per se!

Maybe you'd better aim for 4-5 buses! ;D

Why would non-affiliated fans from B-N root for Wash U more than the other 3 teams?

Like I said, I don't know.  But I would guess there might be more ties to St. Louis than to the other areas.  I think a majority of spectators prefer to have a rooting interest (rather than be a totally disinterested fan of bball), and, if so, WashU seems a more likely candidate than the others.

I don't think that will be the case.

497 as an estimate seems high.  They did sell tickets, but undergraduates were free, and not necessarily recorded.  It looked as though we had more the night before, in part because we had the Mount Union and Carthage fans in the house.

The University is providing free transportation, tickets, hotel, and tickets interested undergraduates.  I would expect a full bus, but I will be surprised if they get two to go.

Washington University will have a good crowd, but not the crowd that one would expect, considering how close we are to Bloomington-Normal.

Am I correct in understanding that undergrads get a bus ride, tickets, and a hotel for free?  Or did I mis-understand and only the bus ride is free?
