So at 71% they had a tad more than 12k at the game? I would say that is Nebraska math to get to 17k.
Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

Why though? Unless there was a huge walk up crowd, you should know your required staffing levels well ahead of the game. Under your logic, every basketball arena should have two different “sellouts”… one for men’s and one for women’s.
If a football stadium has 80,000 available seats, but only decided to make 40,000 available because they knew the demand would be lower for the game, it’s a self proclaimed sellout.
I guess the term “sellout” is loosely applied in some stadiums
If I hear one more thing about Caitlin Clark I am going to ******* puke. **** her and the horse she rode in on.
Are you using a screen reader here? If not, you’re safe.
Lol, it's not my logic. It's pretty clearly spelled out in the article I linked here:
There'll be empty seats at the sold-out Kohl Center when Caitlin Clark visits Wisconsin. Here's why.
Caitlin Clark and her Iowa teammates will open the Big Ten season Sunday in front of what is expected to be a crowd of 13,500-14,000 at Wisconsin.

From the article:
Based on ticket sales, attendance for the game, which is the Big Ten opener for both teams, will be between 13,500 and 14,000. Tipoff is 1:30 p.m.
The Kohl Center, however, has a seating capacity of 17,071 for basketball.
So how can the same venue set up in the same configuration list different sellout capacities?
The answer comes down to how the tickets are sold.
Tickets for UW men’s basketball home games are sold as reserve seating, which designates the holder with a specific seat in the arena.
Women’s basketball tickets are sold as general admission for the entire season, said Justin Doherty, the sports administrator for women’s basketball. That means the ticket holder can take any seat. With that freedom, however, comes the challenge of making sure parties that attend the game together are able to sit together, Doherty said.
“We just want to make sure it’s a good experience for people who attend the game and sit with their friends and family,” he said.
Space isn't usually a problem at women's basketball games. Wisconsin draws fewer than 5,000 fans for most contests.
But the closer the Kohl Center is filled to its capacity, the harder it is to make general seating work because seats are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis rather than in an organized manner that would allow more people into the arena.
As a result, UW sold fewer tickets than it had seats available. To accomodate the additional crowd, the upper two decks of the arena will be open. Normally they're closed.
The reason the game is in such demand is because Iowa senior guard Caitlin Clark is coming to town. The popularity of senior sharpshooter exploded last season when she led the Hawkeyes to the national championship game.
This season each of Iowa’s road games is a hot ticket. Northern Iowa sold out for the first time when it hosted the Hawkeyes on Nov. 12. Iowa State, which played host to the Hawkeyes on Wednesday night drew, 14,267.
They sold every ticket they made available. They called it a sellout prior to the game being played. Why is this so hard to understand? And how would you like to spin the Minnesota sellout? I think Minnesota and Rutgers are in two different states.
All of that said Wisconsin made it a self imposed “sellout”.Lol, it's not my logic. It's pretty clearly spelled out in the article I linked here:

Let me just say I'm really sorry for whatever CC did to your daughter/niece/granddaughter/neighbor/etc. Lol.
I am sure that ISU regularly draws 14,267 or more for their home games. After all, they have been women's basketball fans long before Iowa fans even knew women's basketball existed.
Sorry for showing why Wisconsin shouldn’t had classified a game as a “sellout.” I mean it’s not even Iowa’s fault. It clearly was a sellout only because Wisconsin classified it to be one. I guess that alone shows CC did something to my daughter/niece/granddaughter/neighbor/etc. That’s quite a stretch to make
Well I certainly hope that wasn't the case. The hate just seems to run really deep, like, on a personal level.
You somehow think me questioning why Wisconsin self imposed a “sellout” is “hate” for CC? Two completely unrelated items
Maybe CC should win something first before being compared to MJ and Tiger.
That’s just beyond stupid, and Hassel should know better. But he’s a Hawk lover, so he doesn’t.
As I said over Christmas, none of my visiting family members from outside the state had any idea who CC was? That was 4 whole families. They all know who MJ and Tiger are.

Clearly it is. It was commented that Iowa Women’s BB has drawn sellouts in many states. I simply questioned it. You tell me where that constitutes as “hate” for CC?
You mean the 100 women's big 10 player of the week don't count on a national level??
