I went to a game last year and got great seats for practically nothing. I hope to take in a game or two this year. Every Aztec basketball fan should try to attend at least once. Especially those who live close to campus. I'd go more often, but it's a 100 mile round trip from Fallbrook. You folks who live south of Escondido have no excuse. AzWm

Just couldn't watch it even if I lived in SD. It is sport in slow motion.

You gotta look at the big picture. Look how long MBB had to over achieve before they started selling out seats...Keep winning ladies, just keep winning.

I've said it for years that, like the Q for football, Viejas is just too big for women's basketball. Games like last night's should be played in The Pete. 500 in a 3,000 seat gym is far better than in a 13k arena. Now, I know that Coach Burns uses Viejas as a recruiting tool, but there simply isn't any atmosphere at their games. Depending on when/if we get a basketball facility built, and where it may go, maybe we should take some of that BE $ and refurbish Peterson Gym. Make the facility one that you can recruit to, have the majority of your games played at, and when a marquee program visits (the UConns, Uclas or Stanfords), have that game at Viejas. Uconn drew 5200 five years ago. goaztecs.cstv.com/sports/w-baskbl/stats/122207aaa.html

You can make us fund it but you can't make us watch it. At least not yet.
They should listen to Geno Auriemma; lower the basket and shorten the shot clock.

For those of us that work for a living and already have football and men's bball season tickets, I really don't have the time to consistently go to the women's games. I go to a couple a season. I bet there are a lot of Aztec fans like me that feel the same way.

People don't like watching women's basketball. Plain and simple. You can't create a fan following by begging people to come to the games, or getting angry when they don't.

Did all 462 stand up all game? If not, they're not real fans.

Aztec fans can't even support a football team that's having one of their best seasons since Coryell was the head coach. What do you expect from a fair-weather fan base located in a fair-weather city? I like how people diss women's basketball but will sit up and watch snooze fest sports like baseball, golf, and nascar. They even show poker on ESPN. Very exciting.
