Couple of the Xavier coaches have already mentioned via twitter how important it is for the muskie fans to come out loud and proud Tuesday... Quite honestly the Louisville fans were MUCH louder during their game than we were during ours.... The ESPN article even mentioned how for home games they average 10,000+ fans! Xavier nation, the ladies are really going to need us Tuesday so come out and be loud when you get there!!!

Yes! We need every available X fan there Tuesday night. There are still really good tickets left, and we all need to be there! The Louisville fans were incredible and obnoxious. I hope everyone comes out. The game is at 7! Be there!

Look at it this way - even if the Xavier fans are outnumbered by Louisville fans, it will be great practice for playing on the road in Spokane should the ladies win on Tuesday night. Playing UCLA/Gonzaga and Stanford certainly won't be on a friendly court for Xavier.

I get what you're saying, but the ladies deserve a large crowd Tuesday night. They've had one hell of a good season and deserve just as much attention and love from the X fans as the boys. I'm the first to admit that I tend to find the mens' games more exciting, but today's game was fun and I can't imagine that Tuesday night will be anything less than thrilling.

They certainly do deserve a big crowd. It's sad that Cincinnati can't stand up and be counted for a game like this.
Think of this group of seniors. Harris, Phillips, Jennings and Askew. Not since the team that beat Tenn to go to the Elite 8, the team that had 3 players drafted to the WNBA, has there been a more talented and harder working group of players on that court.
Tuesday is the last chance to see this group of awesome women play, they have worked their asses off now it's time that XU alums, fans etc come out and give something back to them!

On another note, I saved enough voice today to be as loud as I ever have been for Tuesday night. Expect to hear my WOO HOOs from all corners of the Cintas Center!

When we were leaving the parking lot at Cintas today, we saw four cars with UC license plates and stickers. The one car belonged to the people who sat next to us, and they were cheering for X. If UC fans can come cheer for us, then there's no excuse for every X fan in Cincinnati to miss our game Tuesday night.

My wife and I have a business function Tuesday night we're thinking of blowing off in order to be at Cintas. Gotta cheer on the Lady Muskies.

I was there and It was pathetic. Pretty poor support for a number 5 ranked team.

The crowd was disappointing.....Louisville appeared to have half the occupied seats. And they were very loud. Hopefully more students can make their way out on Tuesday.

Very strange, attendance was a couple hundred less than the same game last year.
Now last year depaul waqs there, and they brought a large contingent, and so did the tennesee team. Vandy had a decent group, many of them were locals because of the Cincinnati player they had last year.

and last year, as you might recall, the men had a game same day out of town. we walked out of Cintas after the women won and went into the student center and watched the men win. I thought last year that the scheduling hurt our attendance

This year Louisville had a huge group. SDSU had the lower 2/3 of one section, and the vandy crowd seemed pretty small.
Not sure what it takes to get people to go see this team. It is some incredible hoops!

I'm calling B.S. on the attendance report. They said Sunday was 4,003 and today was 4,065. Today sure looked a heck of a lot more crowded than Sunday.

The lower level was essentially full, they were putting fans in the upper deck.

I know they were having trouble with the scanners. Perhaps not every fan counted. Something just doesn't feel right.
