Beating Temple at home last year likely didn't help us lure big schools into the Mid. I wonder if we only get 11 games at the Mid will season tix be lower in price as we got 14 Mid games last year? I really think Monson and Cegeles are looking at the big bucks (and national exposure) for playing at Kentucky which is reported to be around 80K.
