MBB: Landmark Conference

[Charles]

And who had the bright idea in the conference to have the women play last? No disrespect, but the Women do not draw as much as the men.

Head Scratcher.

not sure if you've attended many Landmark games, but the women ALWAYS out draw the men.

Which Landmark games? Not all Landmark schools are the same.

What planet are you on?

[Charles]

been to many men and women's Landmark games. What i see is that women's games have more students. What i see in the men's games are the locals.

In my experience and i have seen maybe 20 landmark games  the women's games have the excitement, the men's games have the locals cussing at the refs.

The women's games are more fun. My kids like the women's games batter.

How many gyms have you been to, Charles? Because most of the gyms I have been to, the men have a higher attendance. Exceptions have been Scranton and sometimes maybe Moravian(?) - if I am missing anyone else, I apologize.

[NEPAFAN]

The attendance numbers are pathetic across the board. I guess that was to be expected with the move to the new conference but if anyone wants to feel depressed look at the attendance numbers on the conference website!

MMA, Scranton, Catholic, and Moravian always seem to have the women out draw the men.

There have certainly been times when the Scranton women have outdrawn the men...just not in the past several years.
Last night the men had approx. 750 at their game & as soon as it was over, well over 1/2 the "crowd" left.
For both of these teams the crowds have been pathetic all year.
I have heard time & again that the 2/4 Sat. start times for Scranton games are a large part of the problem.
These times take the atmosphere away right from the start.
Nothing like a packed & raucous Long Center come playoff time & that opportunity is gone.
Two years ago the Royals played Catholic for the championship at 7:30 & the place was packed (2,800). & rocking the entire game.
No way I can see more than 1,000 tops at the mens game & even less for the women on Sat.
Wonder what time Bess would have his Royal's playing?

Merchant Marine?! Are you kidding me?!

According to info online... the men have drawn a total of 3230 at home this season or an average of just under 270 per game. The women have drawn a total of 2367 at an average of 182. By the way, the women had one more home game then the men.

If they had a double-header... the men had an attendance of 1605 (average 321)... women had 755 (average of 151). And more glaring... final home game of the season the men had 650 and the women had 125.

As others have said, Scranton used to out-draw, they don't. I have not been to a Catholic game where the women outdrew the men, but it has been close to equal... maybe Moravian, but I would have to crunch the numbers.

Home attendance at Catholic is dreadful. Next to zero student attendance on Wednesday nights. Away attendance on numerous occasions has been fewer than 10 total people.

Dave i was at the MMA v CUA game this year at MMA. I spoke with the kids walking in after the mens game and before the womens game and they were just piling in. They told me that they are required to go to the womens games and the place was packed. That being said, since there was no admission fee, how did they come up with attendence?

So I'm guessing you have never been to a CUA basketball game?

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Well... usually the administration comes up with the attendance and I am not going to second guess the numbers (except give or take some) when there is that big a discretion.

And I haven't been to Catholic for games?  Um... I can't tell you how many games I have attended at CUA... its beyond countless.

Then you would have noticed that the women always outdraw the men.

Congrats to the Royals on punching their ticket. So good to see a full loud student section today.

This is laughable.
