In response to DoCtoR62

Here's an item from Colgate's Game Notes talking about last spring's championship game:

" The 1,821 in attendance was the first sellout in the modern era since the gym had been renamed Cotterell Court in 1966."

It's hard to believe there is any school in the nation with worse fan support for basketball than Colgate. Did not even sell out one game in an 1821-seat gym for three years of Adonal Foyle. Or for their 1994 PL co-champs that featured PL POY Tucker Neale. Or for any regular-season games or PL quarters and semis for the 2018-19 co-champs. Or for the 2nd place 2017-18 team? Or for any number of home games that they played vs Syracuse in the 60's and 70's.

In fact, prior to their sellout in the championship game - which was aided by a large Bucknell contingent - the only sellout ever in Cotterell was to watch the UConn women play there for Breanna Stewart's homecoming. And that was largely UConn fans.
