There doesn't seem to be evidence that the situation will improve for Tinkle and his program going forward. That is unless Gary Payton or the coaching staff have sons that we don't know about. Well, the amount that he can still "drop" is much smaller than any sort of improvement going forward. That's just straight odds. But it is Wayne we're talking about here. It is Wayne we're talking about. So far his track record at OSU shows that he'll have a really down year after an NCAA tournament appearance. Followed by a slow rebuild back to the tournament. It doesn't show continued drop off. I don't see him doing that this time, but you are right any further down would be hard at this point. The highs and lows of his tenure have been extreme. |

Has anyone actually been to one of the recent home games, just curious how many people are actually showing up? It will be interesting to see what season ticket sales are like for next season, I am going to guess they will be at an all-time low.

If they’re not, those fans are the most optimistic, toughest, loyal son of a guns in the wide world of sports! |

They do not show up and season tix didn't really elevate after an E8 run. No idea what attendance they post, but MBB couldn't have an average of much over 3k, maybe 3500, actually in attendance. But, as Beaver fans are truly fans. They are still loud when there is reason for excitement. |

The announced attendance for the WSU game was 3,888. Just from the shots on TV I was going to guess that maybe a couple thousand were in actual attendance.

I have been to nearly every home game. The actual attendance last night was most certainly less than announced. I think digital tickets may be reducing giving away tickets though.

It wasn't pretty as far as attendance. Yeah, the WSU game was pretty bad. The UCLA game was the best attended game for awhile. Some of that may have been having an afternoon game on the weekend. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the increase was UCLA fans. |

A 1pm Saturday, no home baseball, terrible weather, and a LOT of UCLA fans. Not sure what they announced, but I'm pretty sure it was still under 5k for that game?! |

Attendance is tough...there's still angry people out there who refuse to come to games because of vaccine/mask mandates. I think I mentioned earlier we packed Gill for the Civil War at the end of the 5-27 year.......this year we barely got the place half full, and that's coming off an Elite 8 run. Going to games isn't much of a priority for a lot of people anymore. Stadiums are getting smaller across the country for a reason. I'll admit I only made it to one game in person this season, should've been more. Always found a reason not to go, and it had nothing to do with the success (or lack thereof) of the team.
The one game I did go to though (Stanford) was really fun and made me wish I had been to more though. Even with the small crowd and poor play, it's still college basketball. I still love it.

Oregon State was a couple of points away from a three-game winning streak at the time. |

To be fair with the CW game this year too, it was originally a Saturday game rescheduled for a Monday night two days later due to COVID in the uo program (and Dana still violated COVID protocols letting Richardson play). Probably would've been better attended at its original date and time. Otherwise I thought the UCLA crowd was decent all things considered. Sure there were more UCLA fans, but seemed like more families were there too being a 1PM game. |

Are there solid rumors that players want to leave after the season or is it just fan speculation? I think it's all speculation. In today's environment it almost seems like a given most teams will have 2-3 transfers. The big question is who those players are. A couple of our younger guys show some promise, it'd be nice to keep them. If Lucas is "done" as someone claimed he was a game or two back, maybe it is time for him to be done. I'm not about to predict how we'll do next year. Tinkle's early teams were predicted to be at the bottom of the league, they were winning teams and one went to the NCAA tourney. Last year the team was pretty much a consensus pick to finish 12th in the league and went to the Final 8. Most every poster on this board blew their predictions those years. Personality mix apparently does count, especially when there are a bunch of injuries and the team is short-handed. I can't say the team is screwed if Tinkle is here, I kind of doubt anyone here has correctly predicted the bulk of his season records here. A little turnover in players, and maybe staff, might not be a bad thing this year- but if they lose the few kids who really look like they have potential and it'll ruffle some more feathers amongst the buyout crowd. From what I've heard the only "done deal" I'm aware of is Andela coming back, also evidenced by him not being honored at senior night. We will also add Marial so at the very least we shouldn't be worse off at the 5 next year compared to this year since there will actually be 2 players who can play that position on the roster (assuming Marial can play/contribute) even if Silva is harder to replace.
I have not heard anything of any players wanting out for sure. Even with the Lucas outburst he still started and played his normal minutes against WSU, so I'm not reading much into that situation or considering it anymore than just general frustration that comes in a season like this one. Jarod and Gianni are also best friends and roommates I believe (at least until Gianni left), so the two of them could be a package deal re: staying/leaving.
We will probably see a couple guys head elsewhere for whatever reason, it happens everywhere now. It's hard to imagine after a season like this that someone wouldn't want to transfer out to try to win somewhere too, but hopefully we can avoid that. We also are going to be adding some roster depth in the off-season via transfers one would presume. Hopefully we can keep the core that we've started to build around this year together for next season and improve with the other guys coming back from injury/mental health/ineligibility and new guys. Otherwise I agree, we could see a much stronger push for immediate change which I would say would be warranted should significant losses hit early in the off-season.

That makes no sense about digital tickets reducing giveaway tickets...and then I remembered how old the Beaver fanbase is. They don't know how to do it. |
