I guess Seton Hall isn't the attraction Ucant and Creighton is. Not going to have the weekend crowd we've been spoiled to expect in this one.
Seems like some of the following -
The casual fan wants to see more competitive games.
Almost no Seton Hall fans in attendance.
Confusion over the rescheduling of the game.
People saving their money to go to the BET
And STJ gave away tickets to students/groups of people who didn't really want to go

Probably brokers is my guess.
There are 5 programs in the country that would draw over 17,200 fans to a game against lowly Seton Hall when their team is having a great year. Some of that is due to teams not having the capacity, sure, but to be top 5 in anything after what we’ve been through for 20 years is amazing.
Attendance is one of the best ways to measure the health of a program. For St. John’s, the importance is multiplied since MSG is our biggest advantage over other programs.
It still is 1,000 times better than being cramped in CA.
I still expect the crowd to be shocking compared to preseason or midseason expectations. I understand it's showmanship and/or salesmanship, but the Kull/Pitino insistence on this already being a sellout/having 17k tix sold unnecessarily raised expectations for the game. Didn't really work in terms of getting more people to buy tickets either. Just odd
Before the season started without knowing where we would be now I’d have guessed if you put it at msg 10k max
It’s 60 degrees out and sunny. Paul SJUFAN2 and all our other brothers lost are smiling down on us today

Agree. Better to have 16k than 6k and more elbow room. I hope the St. John's fans that initially paid $300 got restitution or they're gonna have a heart attack when they wake up today and see $10.
As long as the ticket company cancel the event, they should all be getting a refund. That $300 ticket can go a long way for today's game instead. Win-win.
68 and sunny here in beautiful Mooresville, NC. Going out for a pregame run, hope to see all our guys playing later today and enjoying the experience of earning a regular season Big East Crown. Let's go JOHNNIES!!!!
Of course attendance matters. If the casual fan attends we sell out. Look at all these years. When mullin buzz was here we drew well. Now there is great buzz with a great team and attendance has been awesome.
