2024 Tournament Attendance

[Husky fanatic]

The round of 32 attendance averaged 9,425. Iowa and SC were the attendance leaders at over 14 K ea. West Coast teams and NC State drag the numbers down.

So with 2 sellouts and a capacity just north of 10,000 Storrs would be on the high side of that average. Unless they count the play-in game which apparently had very low attendance.

I posted all the numbers in the General thread under "Wowsa-1st Two rounds attendance"

The actual 1st round attendance was 8,897 per session and 9,382 for the 2nd round. Significantly up over 2023 (7,074 and 7,963)

I saw at least the 2nd half of Iowa State and Stanford game. Attendance wasn't what I expected, and neither was the game...one of the worst played D1 WBB games I think I have ever seen.

Huh - almost 6000, about 80% of capacity. Not horrible, really.

Both teams made clutch 3 after clutch 3 at the end. Very high level.

You are correct at the end they traded 3s... But prior to that, they traded turn over after turn over, foul after foul, missed bunny after missed bunny.

I’m glad I didn’t start watching until about 4 minutes left then.

Was very impressed with Ryan (ISU) and Iriafen (Stanford).

Iriafen was the best player on the floor. Stanford's Cameron Brink contributed very little and fouled out early on 4th quarter if I recall correctly. ISU's big center kept trying the same move...back into the paint pushing against the defender until under the basket then try to turn and shoot over left shoulder. Iriafen stuffed her almost every time.

Her HS coach called her Olive Oyl, but that picture is more of a Popeye look.
