I can't be specific, but can offer some "contributing factors" that are doubtless part of it.
- The time of games may not be ideal - either in general or for the area (traffic, church on Sunday, etc)
- The teams don't draw all that well for the regular season
- Regular Season attendance for some programs includes all season tickets, not actual fannies through the door.
- We saw when we were at RU that some fans resented not being able to sit in "their" seats (reserved for another team) and passed on coming (especially since they could watch on TV)
- Which would bring up the fact that fans could stay at home and watch on quality TV.  Depending on the school regular season coverage on TV and / or the internet might be spotty or poor quality.
- Some fans can't afford the extra expense
- There isn't a significantcasual bunch of folks that would not normally attend a WBB game but will attend a first round tournament game.  As the team goes deeper than the first 2 rounds, if truly local, you will pick up casual fans, although being WBB unfortunately there are not necessarily a lot of them.
