I agree with most of your assessment with a couple of exceptions. I think that if SB is competitive, that they'll draw considerably better than you think. As for Albany, they draw well for a couple of games, such as when the play SB or someone special from outside of the conference. As for the rest of their games, they dramatically overstate the size of their crowds. For most of their home games attendance is an embarrasment, and you can literally count the few spectators who are present.

Interesting theory about how Albany fans flock to the RACC to see Stony Brook but I think it's a bit off. This year's Stony Brook game drew 910. Below our average attendence and one our lowest home conference games of the year. Granted the game was held on Valentine's Day which probably wasn't a good night for most guys to go to a hoop game.

Dane, Your average attendance if you eliminate your "Dane Growl" or whatever you call it, was 881. Other than that particular event, your biggest draw seems to have been vs Binghamton, which is listed as 1647. I have a friend who's a Binghamton alum who drove out from CT for that game, and he said that he thought there were maybe 500 people there.

Look, my point is that we should continue to nurture the rivalry between SB and Albany, and then maybe we'll be able to fill both of our arenas when we play each other.
