A total of 2,401 fans officially attended Saturday's men's basketball game against Oregon State, but rarely are 2,397 people as invisible as when President Obama and his family - first lady Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha - sit among them.
The first family, along with the first lady's mother, Marian Robinson, sat in the front row behind the visitors' bench during the game, supporting Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama's older brother.
The president and his family arrived approximately 10 minutes prior to the game's beginning, walking through a black curtain that shielded the southwest entrance to Smith Center from F Street. As they went to their seats, the president and first lady shook hands and greeted a number of students and spectators before being seated at the front of the section of Oregon State supporters.
