You could literally count the people in the first 7 rows behind the visitor's ben on TV games from Tulsa. There were only a few games where it wasn't possible to count the people in the first 7 rows behind the Tulsa bench while watching on TV.

Sadly, attendance may/will be down next season for everyone. Assuming we have a season.

Manning’s out — who’s next for Wake? - North State Media

"...So who does that leave?

One possibility is Gregg Marshall, a South Carolina native whose shine has begun to wear off at Wichita State after leading the Shockers to a Final Four in 2012 and an undefeated regular season the following year. But after paying a hefty multi-million-dollar buyout on Manning’s contract, Wake might be reluctant to spend the kind of money it would take to lure Marshall — who is under contract at $3.5 million per year through 2022...."

At this point doesn't (even) Gregg Marshall have to be thinking to himself.....

The winners and losers of college basketball’s offseason - New York Post

"There was no NCAA Tournament this year because of the novel corona virus pandemic and far fewer coaching changes, which meant the silly season was all transfers, all the time. It’s been a busy couple of months since the college basketball season ended prematurely, full of player turnover and roster upheaval.

Though there are still changes to come, and uncertainty about when the cutoff date for players testing the NBA draft waters will be moved to with the draft likely being pushed back, below is a list of our winners and losers of this wild off-season so far:

Winners
Arizona State
Texas
Texas Tech
Minnesota

Losers
Creighton
Kentucky
Georgetown
Wichita State - The Shockers, an NCAA Tournament bubble team, lost a stunning six rotation players to the transfer portal, though one of them, forward Morris Udeze, did opt to return. Impact players Grant Sherfield (Nevada), Burton (Texas Tech) and Erik Stevenson (Washington), however, did not."

[ShockTalk]

Stupid article. Apparently, Creighton, Kentucky, and Georgetown still have work to do (maybe a lot of work) to rebound from player loses. WSU on the other hand has filled in the gaps, some with better talent than what left, along with depth, and no mention of the turmoil/poison WSU got away from.
