NCAA Basketball 2019-20 Attendance, Week 13: Over 700 sub-1000 Games on the Year

Amidst conference play, one would expect that there would be a higher average attendance (and there is) vs non-conference play, but there were still fifty games with fewer than 1,000 fans. Without further ado, let’s take a look:

Number of games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans: 39 (Season total: 736)

Here are the 3 lowest attended games of last week:

3. Samford vs Western Carolina/strong> – Only 378 in attendance for a SoCon matchup, a rare appearance for the conference. The visiting Catamounts walked away with a 78-70 win. Your action shot:

3. Chicago State vs UTRGV – Tied with the SoCon, the WAC had a game with 378 in attendance as well. The lowly Chicago State hosted University of Texas at the Rio Grande Valley and it wasn’t quite the draw that you’d think. UTRGV took the 75-64 victory, sending those 378 folks home disappointed. Your action shot:

2. Presbyterian vs Gardner-Webb – The Blue Hose once again in the bottom three as only 279 were in attendance for their 65-61 win over the Runnin’ Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb. In fact, so few people were there, there seems to be no photographic evidence of the crowd!

1. NJIT vs North Florida – Another Atlantic Sun in the bottom spot as the Highlanders continue with their attendance woes. 256 showed up for the Thursday Night game against the Ospreys, a game won by North Florida 82-75. A shot:

So now, what happened to everyone else? Let’s go ahead with the miscellany:

Smallest group of people to see a win at home this week):  Presbyterian (vs Gardner-Webb) 279.

Biggest group of people to see a loss at home this week: North Carolina (vs Duke) 21,500.

Smallest Power 5 Conference attendance: Georgia Tech (vs Virginia Tech), 4,727.

And as always, your full attendance numbers for the week:
