There were about 16 students at the Rutgers game. It was pathetic and just one game removed from a packed gym for the Illini.
It was a 6:00 tip on a Tuesday with a massive snowstorm on the way. The weather was better tonight, later tip, marquee opponent and a revenge game, and the student section was more or less full.
The attendance problem remains primarily the responsibility of NU fans who sell their seats and don’t show up.
But if we win, people will show. Let’s keep it rolling.
