The highly skilled sophomore's confidence had been free-falling since the beginning of his unconvincing rookie campaign and it finally bottomed out.

Although the line-up was questionable during ticket sales - Eve dropped out of the tour without explanation and replacement Charli Baltimore followed suit - the show drew in a crowd of about 3,000, leaving 5,000 empty seats. Students who bought their tickets in advance seemed a little surprised at the line-up changes. Advertising senior James Olinik said he didn't know about the switch in performers until the show began.
