We need a bigger basketball arena!

AKA They’re numbers and they’re MSU basketball-related, so I must analyze them.
Despite once again selling out every home game, MSU ranked just 17th in the nation in average home attendance this season (from the page I’ve linked to, there’s a link to a Word file with all the details). This is, of course, a [...]

The next two weeks
kj on Dec 28th 2007

I’ll put up a UW-Green Bay preview later tonight, but will then depart the blogosphere until next Tuesday or Wednesday.
