Numbers have somewhat bounced back this week after the winter storm that shook the east coast a couple of weeks ago, overall average attendance is slightly up this week. Where the attendance changes are mostly seen are on the bottom of the list, however, as fewer teams drew sub 1000 compared to last week (only 16 this week, 33 last week) and the lowest attended game of the week still had more than 400.

Number of games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans: 35

Here are the 3 lowest attended games of last week:

3. South Carolina State vs Coppin State – Despite being near the top of the MEAC, South Carolina State managed to draw only 403 against Coppin State this week. The home fans were treated to a doozy as the Bulldogs of SC State took down the Eagles of Coppin State 88-83. Here’s an action shot at the final buzzer. You’ll have to forgive me as it appears this photo was taken on a camera phone from 2001.

2. St. Peter’s vs Iona – Meanwhile, some #MAACtion took place in Jersey City, and only drew a crowd of 389. Iona, at the top of the MAAC, took the game 75-67, sending home dozens of disappointed Peacocks fans in what actually appears to be a somewhat packed gym (relative term, here):

1. St. Francis (Brooklyn) vs Fairleigh Dickinson – Meanwhile, our winners this week have a visitor who knows the feeling. Fairleigh Dickinson made the list last week against St. Francis (PA). This week, they go on the road to St. Francis (Brooklyn) who end up winning in front of 355 rowdy home fans, and knocking FDU out of sole possession of first place in the NEC.

Okay, so there are the highlights, here’s the miscellany:
