As the regular season draws to a close, many teams still find themselves in the thick of competing for a bye in a conference tournament. And plenty of other teams… don’t. Many of those teams that don’t have much to play for had some trouble drawing fans this week. Without further ado, let’s take a…
NCAA Basketball 2018-19 Attendance, Week 16: The Bottom of the Standings
With the record cold temperatures last week, it’s no surprise that the number of games with fewer than 1000 fans was up nearly 50% week-over-week.

NCAA Basketball 2018-19 Attendance, Week 12: Coppin Goes Back to Back
In case there is any doubt that losing detracts fans, let me introduce you to Coppin State. Ranked 347th in the AMSTS Computer Rankings, it’s hard to find a reason to get fans to show up. The PAC 12 has similar problems…. even with winners. Without further ado, let’s take a look: Number of games…

MLK Weekend and every team in the nation (except 53) decided to be a part of a game on Saturday, the busiest NCAA Basketball day of the season with 150 games on the docket. Despite that, only a handful on Monday during the day. But let’s look at last week, where we crossed the 500…

School is back in session, and conference play has begun. Teams no longer have an excuse, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t see low attendance for a while.
