In response to Bison89
In fairness last year's average home attendance for Lehigh was fourth (1,231) in the league. Bucky (2,635), Navy (1,670), Cross (1,360) topped the league. Lafayette was fifth (1,168). The bottom five were below 1,000 per game.
So its a tad unfair to say Lehigh doesn't have "any kind of local support." Its just that an occasional crowd of 2,200 gets lost in that barn.
Also, Bison attendance is a testament to a long standing hard earned winning tradition. Despite recent success Lehigh is still in the "top" ten of all time losses in Division One basketball. The 30's 40's, 50's and most of the 60's and 70's were really brutal....
