It’s safe to say first-year Head Coach Brad Underwood has taken the basketball program head-and-shoulders above what it was last year with Travis Ford. But just how much has attendance risen over since Underwood took over the reigns?
Last season, Ford had an average attendance of 5,786. The non-conference average was 4,895 with the conference attendance better at 6,479.
Unless nobody shows up to the last two home games, Underwood will best the attendance numbers from last season. There are an average of 7,948 people coming through the doors of Gallagher-Iba Arena doors this season. These numbers are hurt by the poor non-conference attendance numbers, where an average of 5,807 showed up to watch the Cowboys.
