Week 10 NCAA Basketball Attendance, the Highs and Lows

We’re back into the swing of things with most colleges having started their spring semester, which seems to have helped most teams out of the nadir of the year.  This week saw marked improvement over last with quite a few games with fewer than 1,000 fans:

Number of games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans: 39

The three lowest attended games of the week?

3. Presbyterian vs Longwood – The Blue Hose hosted the Longwood Lancers in a Big South conference clash.  As a nice little piece of trivia for you, Longwood’s athletic Twitter account uses the hashtag #GoWood. Moving right along, the Blue Hose ended up hanging 78 to #GoWood’s 65, giving the home win to Presbyterian in front of 264 family and friends. Here’s a shot

2. Delaware State vs Summit – Delaware State, the second worst team in Division 1 this year, decided that their best opportunity to pad the win column was to play Summit University, a Division 3 religious school situated in the Scranton, PA metropolitan area. It was clearly worth it, as the following action shot shows, Memorial Hall was rockin’:

Delaware State won it, as you could guess, 93-44, in front of 239 folks, most of whom were less excited than the Delaware State bench.

1. Grambling State vs Jarvis Christian  Another lower division foe, this time a school with barely a Wikipedia page. Grambling has perfected Delaware State’s scheduling scheme, with 3 of their 5 wins coming against D2-or-below tier schools.  Congratulations, Grambling, you beat Jarvis Christian, your fans are thrilled:

An alleged 117 showed up, but I see 3 in the 1/8th of the stadium that is visible.  I’ll let you all decide whether that 117 is reasonable.

 

Here’s the miscellany!:

Biggest group of people to see a loss at home this week: NC State (vs Louisville), 17,950.

Smallest group of people to see a win at home this week: Grambling State (vs Jarvis Christian (NAIA)), 117.

Smallest Power Conference attendance: Washington State (vs UCLA), 1,912.

Average attendance this week: 4,372 (down 148 (3.3%) over last week)

And of course, your full attendance numbers:
