In response to LyleGold
Spectating isn't something that our respective admissions offices value. Hard to be a driven achiever/overachiever and make time for two basketball games on a weekend, much less plays, lectures, volunteering, etc. Also, interests of global applicant pool changes things. It's just not the same any more and it isn't going to be except for when a game warrants becoming a campus social event like "The Game." Always felt that attendance for Tournament at Palestra was aided by the fact that Sunday final coincides with students returning to campus after break. Nothing else going on.
My recently graduated Harvard son loves basketball and plays when he can. However, over his 4 years in Cambridge (H18), I attended more games from NJ than he did from his River House. Too much going on (and GF who didn't get basketball).
