I thought I would look at the home attendance numbers at Matthew Knight Arena and compare last year’s non-conference attendance with this year’s non-conference attendance. I have numbers for you, so what can we infer at this point, if anything?
Women’s Basketball
At this point last season and this season, the women had concluded their non-conference games. In 2023, the Ducks were 10-4, and this season they are 9-3. Here are the average per-game attendance numbers:
- 2023 - 4,820 per game (9 games)
- 2024 - 5,048 per game (10 games)
In 2023, the Ducks had not yet fallen into the abyss of their awful 14-game losing streak in conference play; however, they were showing some cracks.
