THE SHOTGUN THROWDOWN: West Virginia’s loyal basketball fans

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

LOYAL FANS

Despite a rough men’s basketball season, West Virginia was able to host very large crowds for most of its home games this year. The average home game attendance this season was 11,535 fans, with the season-high being 14,100. The 11,535 average is the fourth highest in WVU history. Only the 2010, 2018, and 2020 seasons had higher home game attendance averages.

So, contrary to what some may think about the quality of WVU fans and students, they have proven year after year that they are some of the most loyal and dedicated fans in college basketball, even when the team is not performing as well.
