There are a lot of past and present factors that make attendance in this era challenging. Sure, it’d be great to have 6-7K fans there every game, but all factors considered, SIU is drawing respectably.
Losing a bunch of home games isn’t helping. Drake and Bradley are top of the league, but losing home games to Evansville and Murray hurt, not just in the standings, but from an attendance standpoint. Luke Martin and Co. might need to pause using the phrase “Banterra magic” until they start defending home court again.
@tj-mcflys for the record, my post was not a “pro Mullins” or “anti Mullins” post. It is simply that we sometimes get caught up in thinking the online crowd represents the fanbase as a whole, and that isn’t always true. Most casual fans are silent. And the ones I know aren’t going to games.
