In a very emotional game, the Cats put away a good IU team. Student section was full, with WBB, Softball, Wrestling and others in attendance.
Good tribute to the memory of Jordan.

Wow, 300 out of 472 program athletes were there. Considering I think WBB averages about 300 TOTAL fans per game-- this must have quite a sight. I couldn't watch it today but will have to check out the stream on BTN Plus.

A very nice article/tribute on the game and Jordan in today's Sun-Times. It notes that the attendance usually well under 900 was about 3,500 with the students showing up big time. Also reported that the men's team and coach Collins were there along with a lot of football guys. Sounded pretty emotional with everyone wearing her initials on a patch, the team wearing her number on t-shirts during warm-ups and her roommate from last season wearing her number during the game. And yes, they won, likely dedicated to her.Something like 2,800 total attendance. Lots of students. Sad day but great support for the WBB team.
