CenturyLink bought a bulk of the tickets so ULM can sell them at $5.
Who are the refs for this game. I'm starting to smell a fishy trap.
Let's all enjoy the game. Should be close and fun to watch. This is going to be good for area fans of both
ULM had about 10 fans show up last year to the TAC. ULM has no base at all. So I serious doubt they are close to a sell-out, unless they are just giving their tickets away.
Remember when the current nlulm baseball coach told his supporters to not buy tickets when they played in Ruston several years back? "Just watch from right field."
That's the nlulm fan mindset on travel.

If they wanted a hard sell-out they would of scheduled the game for Saturday afternoon or evening...
Lots of Christmas church programs in the area Sunday night - knocks out a lot of parents and kids
My guess less than 5k - with 1,500 to 2,000 being Tech fans

Dwayne - you're usually pretty accurate with attendance - Do you think we'll bring 1,500 to 2,000 fans on a Sunday evening in late December to Monroe? I noticed the drop off for the Tuesday game, and I think that we may bring between 500-750 for this game. I just don't see the excitement yet for Tech basketball. The ULL loss did not do us any favors. The timing of this game doesn't help either school as far as student fan bases are concerned.
Honestly no - probably closer to 1,000 - but the last two trips crowds have been close to 50/50
And I will say it again - I don't think the USL loss hurt us as much as everyone seems to think it did might of knocked the students back some - but Christmas socials, work gatherings, church/family obligations is the reason attendance is off for the paying customers -
Remember last year we HAD horrible attendance till mid/late January early February coming off a run to the finals of the conference tourney and we lost to NWST and McNeese in OOC play
