gotta give us a capacity % or something to be meaningful for us.

Exactly. A more interesting number would be percentage of tickets sold on average for each game.
Well MSG capacity is just under 20,000. I have been to many MSG games in the Lavin and Mullin eras that were only half full or 2/3 full. I have also been to a handful of MSG games--like Duke under Coach K, Nova under Wright, G'town when they were decent--that pulled in 18k or 19k. That is why I say this year's numbers at MSG weren't tremendous, weren't awful.

Which is way, IMO, percentage of tickets sold is a better, though still imperfect, barometer.
EDIT: room112 had this idea first. Didn't see it until after posting this.
So if you play in a phone booth and sell one ticket you are at 100%. We didn't play more games at MSG because the powers that be didn't think we would draw (basically because we have sucked). That's on us.
Keep in mind , our average will always be limited by the # of games played at CA with 5k max…
Posted prior to reading post by Redfazed…so redundant
I'm not trying to argue our attendance was good. I was just pointing out the chart presented could have better context of it included the percentage of tickets sold.
True. Revenue generated seems the issue to me. Between that and SJU NIL capacity it seems a tough slog here. Winning seems only cure obviously.
Agrew on winning, but I fear this administration is only committed to investing after the winning. It's tail wagging the dog..
It's just bizarre to me that after decades of failure and beyond paying $ for a coach, they don't make a multi year commitment and open up wallet and take some new directions to getting the right player training and living facilities, amenities etc. and pull out all the stops to pack the Garden with giveaways to local youth / sports groups, civil service, employee incentive programs etc.
Holloway would be getting ripped apart right now if he was our coach.
Not after that last play!! What a play on both ends. Great finish (quite frankly I only saw the last 24.7 seconds after just getting home).
Bad turnover by Dawes after dribbling aimlessly with chance to ice the game, with Holloway had two TO’s. Then the TO under the basket with less than 10 seconds left and the ensuing foul on the 3 pt shot. Im not suggesting it would have been warranted, but I’m guaranteeing it would have happened lol. I actually appreciate his decision not using a timeout on the last shot attempt.
I thought the discussion should hve been on him hitting the rim on the follow thru. But maybe it is null once the ball is blocked?
I was thinking of that too and would not think it matters that he got his hand in ball first because the shot still had chance to go in and he did hit the rim so may have still been goaltending indeed.
For DePaul a happy ending
They deserved the game. Or, at least, Seton Hall did not.For DePaul a happy ending
