I just realized that South Carolina State will be playing Monmouth on Saturday afternoon at the Hart Center. Wondering if that will have the lowest attendance for a men's basketball game in Hart Center history. I know we've put up some low numbers in certain years but who is going to that game outside of the traveling parties for each team?

There were a couple of PL games where we drew in the 500 range during the 2014-15 season.
Given that this isn't part of a double-header, it's hard to see there being more than a couple hundred people in attendance.

The games in question were during pretty bad snowstorms in a pretty bad snow year. There was a game vs Brown back in 1996 that drew about 300 when #1 UMass played #2 Memphis St in a sold out Centrum on the same night. Non-Alum Dave was one of the 300 |

The Saturday game is part of some kind of package with the Friday game...1/2 price admission I think for Saturday. Maybe that will help

I will be there Friday with my "non alum son."  I also signed up for free tickets for the Monmouth--SC State game but not sure I can/will go to that. |

A combination of snow and interest in the program dwindling. |

Worcester State had the Hart as home court several years ago, their court was being built, or re-built. I checked attendance at several of the games, low /. very low hundreds. With a larger enrollment than HC, and presumably a Worcester-centric student, family, and alumni fanbase, told me all that I needed to know.

Wouldn't be something if Saturday's game at the DCU has larger attendance than HC's appearance there?

Non-Alum Dave was one of the 300although this was before i had the pleasure of knowing nad, i was also at this game as a student... one of just a handful of students who was around during winter break that came out to support my friends and teammates. i think we lost the game, but don't recall for certain. i may be confusing it with the loss to boston college at the hart center during winter break the following year, although that game was more memorable given the opponent (scoonie penn and danya abrams made for a pretty good bc team) and a thunderous damion ezell dunk from not too far inside the foul line! |
