That will give Alex time to see CU and get to go to a practic and tour campus. Have a good time Alex! Go Jays!

Maybe its just because of the quick turnaround, but I love that he is staying for two games straight. Especially since both will be unquestionably sellouts.

Without regard to how they count the sales, the Chicago State game did not look like a sellout on TV. Looks are important.

Well good thing he's staying for the Marquette game then eh? 15.5k which I'm sure was a more accurate count still looks good.

99% of college hoops programs would kill for 15,500 vs. Chicago St. on a 3 degree Sunday afternoon.

Other than a big whole in the student section due to break, it was pretty damn full. There were a few folks missing in the lower bowl, due mainly, I suspect, to holiday travel, but the upper bowl was pretty packed.

I was thinking the same thing. The gameday environment yesterday wasn't exactly thrilling. 15k or whatever it actually was is still a great turnout for any game at most programs, but I hope the Marquette game has the place shaking on Tuesday.

Maybe I've had to much Blue Kool-Aide over the past couple of weeks but how big would it be if he verbally committed after the game tomorrow.
