Interesting. I started regularly going to games in 1990, only three years removed from a shared conference regular season title, and only five years after a Sweet 16 run. By 1992, we were struggling to fill up three sections in the lower bowl of the Rosemont Horizon. I think the athletic department has done a good job of building the season ticket rolls. Having other winning programs (women's/men's volleyball, cross country, men's soccer) to promote helps a little.
I think there's a chance we finish below .500 this season. But unless there's a transfer portal exodus, we'll be pretty good next year. Just can't have more than two bad seasons in a row.... that's killer.
