I just wanted to get this out of the way for all of us. There were 69 games with fewer than 1,000 college basketball fans last week. That brings the season number up to 420 games with fewer than 1,000 in attendance. I wish I were making that up. ANYWAY, elsewhere, average attendance dropped from 4,772 a week ago to 4,282. Without further ado, let’s take a look:

Number of games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans: 69 (Season total: 420)

Here are the 3 lowest attended games of last week:

Bethune Cookman vs Marist – Bethune hosted Marist in front of a mere 103 folks and made quick work of them in the Bottom 3’s only all-D1 game of the week. The Wildcats walked away with an 85-56 victory over the MAAC’s own, and longtime AMSTS favorite team Marist. Unfortunately, with so few people there are no known action shots.

Alcorn State vs Ecclesia – After Ecclesia lost by nearly 100 to Grambling a few weeks ago, this was over from the start, as Alcorn took a 122-71 victory home in front of 101 folks, which is still about half the total enrollment of their opponents in Ecclesia, who reports a student body of only 221. The only action shot that was available wasn’t much help, but we’ll let you see it anyway:

Morgan State vs Chestnut Hill – Our first sub-100 game of the year completes the all-HBCU bottom three this week. Only 58 folks entered the Hill Field House to see Morgan State take on Division 2 Chestnut Hill College. The Bears beat the Griffins by a score of 96-72, and judging from the opening tip-off Tweet, the small crowd was late-arriving:

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): Morgan State (vs Chestnut Hill) 52.

Biggest group of people to see a loss at home this week: Nebraska (vs North Dakota) 15,010.

Smallest Power 5 Conference attendance: Washington State (vs Florida A&M), 1,987.

Average attendance this week: 4,282 (down 490 vs prior week)

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