I doubt it will have much affect on attendance.
The opponent certainly does not help, but a minimal bump is better than nothing.

A 4:30pm game will not be over until sometime between 6:30-7pm.
My experience is basketball games are usually over in less than 2 hours.

The game is in Philly so...

who really want to watch it there is not enough time to either get to NO or even get home for kick off at 7pm. Seems like a pointless move.
I think most who go to LSU hoops games live within 30 minutes of the PMAC.

To me it's better than the alternative. I'd like to see both live and now I'll be able to.

If you can get an extra 100 people at the game it's not a pointless move at all.

"It'll probably get an extra 1000."

Agreed. Excellent move. Perhaps 3:00 would have been better, but who knows what other constraints were at issue. When does URI arrive in BR, SEC TV issues, etc.? Regardless of whether there could have been a better move, this is a good move.
