Tech basketball has a problem that they are not motivated to fix: their sellouts do not have sellout crowds. Sitting in the crowd for the Clemson game last Sunday, I was struck by how, despite how quickly the game had sold out with regard to student tickets, a considerable chunk of student seating was completely empty. Considering that the more bodies in seats, the better a team performs, it is not hyperbole to suggest that missing a chunk of students for the game could have helped Tech lose the game 72-70.
What gives? The game was a sellout, so where were these students?
