Don't know what the attendance was at today's WVU-Providence game (seemed to be at least 8,000+) but I was surprised that they were incredibly quiet even when the Friars got out to a 15-pt lead in the first half. Maybe they knew what was coming; WVU won in OT. But I thought Big Least crowds were supposed to be raucous.
BTW, do they call Dunkin Donuts Center "The Hole"? (You know, the center of a donut.)
Big East crowds in general aren't very good. Many play in off campus sites and they typically put there studends in the end zones. I've been to many Georgetown and Maryland games over the years and the difference is huge. Think of it as Miami compared to Ohio.
