Week 9 NCAA Basketball Attendance: Sacred Heart Draws Sub-300 Twice
Sacred Heart is the focal point this week as they drew fewer than 550 fans over two games this week, surprisingly low as the Pioneers had drawn over 500 for most of the season thus far. The other story this week is the continued issues that HBCUs face in getting butts in seats, with two …

NCAA Basketball Attendance Week 8: HBCU Blues
HBCUs seem to be having a tough time drawing a crowd this year. After last week’s Howard fiasco, this week’s leader is Alcorn State with only 124 in attendance. Also, another hoops “classic” that didn’t seem to bring many fans in the door. Let’s take a look: Number of games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans: 35 (Season total: …
