While perusing the Tar Heel message board.......

I saw where some of them were wondering if MSU played in one of those "NIT gyms" that holds about 2000 people and, of course, the traditional slamming of the state of Mississippi. I hope their team thinks they are walking into a quiet gym that only holds 2000. They might be in for a surprise. From all indications tomorrowmight bea sell out.

the Dean Smith Center for their first round game, maybe they were getting ready for our small 10k high school auditorium.

as soon as the season ended. They didn't plan on having to host a NIT game.

We were all disappointed we didn't get in the big dance, but hosting all
the early round games was incredibly fun. And everyone was tuned in
when we went to MSG. So is the NIT bit of a downer? Well yeah. But once
everyone gets back down to reality if that situation is given to us, you
know damn well that the Hump will be packed and rocking. And yes, I'm
assuming we'll get a number 1 seed in the NIT should we be left out of
the big dance.

There is no way in hell the
Hump will be "packed and rocking" for an NIT game. We only had freaking
8000 or so at the Alabama game where Jarvis and Barry broke the records
at State. Our fans have not shown up in droves all year and they damn
sure ain't against some mid major from Timbuktu. Write it in stone, if
we host the NIT actual attendance will be no more than 6000. I have
been to every game this year and just scratched my head at why our fans
are not there.

From my point of view, I shelled out $1000 for
four season tickets this year and have been treated to fantastically
frustrating basketball all year. I sure as **** ain't about to pay any
more for the priviledge of watching it in the NIT. If any of you that
go to games only when you get a free ticket want to go to an NIT game
then knock yourself out.

I did not say turn down the invite completely. I
just said that I would not blame Byrne for turning down a chance to host
based on how cruddy our crowds have been this season. I could easily
see us losing money on an NIT game. Again, I have been to every home
game this year and the crowds have been dead and generally between
7000-8000K for SEC games. I would be shocked if we drew more than 6000
for an NIT game unless it is against North Carolina or someone like
that.

There are still plenty of tickets left. Mostly student tickets that will be sold to the public before the game. Come out and support! Does anyone know if there is a white or maroon out?

The top deck was mostly empty. If we were playing any one other than NC then it would be that way again.
