Attendance at Princeton basketball games is low because overall interest in Princeton basketball is low (at least compared to the past when they consistently drew bigger crowds) - not because there is a tournament.
The fact that people are talking/speculating about probabilities of finishing in the top four (instead of conceding their season after losing a few games early Ivy games) is evidence that the tournament is generating more interest in the regular season league-wide.
Maybe it's me, but Yale clinching a title through Princeton losing to a non-contending team hundreds of miles away doesn't seem more exciting than a head-to-head matchup between the last two contenders in a tournament title game - winner take all.
