Oh yeah, I forgot how similar LC and Ivy schools are with all of the rich white kids attending.

Hope actually ended up having a higher per-game average than 156 teams, 167 including teams reclassifying to D1. That's a long, long, long way from competing with Kentucky.
We all care SO much about D3 ball.

Anyways, Hope College is a fluke, they have double the attendance of the 7th highest attendance D3 school. Also, it's impossible to compare the midwest to the east coast in terms of basketball attendance. People go to Hope and Calvin for basketball games just to see basketball. People don't do that in Virginia.

And I didn't see LC on the top 30 list. I did see Randolph-Macon tho. Weird, huh? LC can't even crack a 893 per game attendance. I thought they were known up and down the eastern seaboard...

Nice try tho, shukwagon.
LC is a lax and soccer school (aka sports in the US rich white people like), kids don't care about basketball at LC, not even that much at the D1 level for some reason. This school has been a lax/soccer school ever since i've been here and apparently it's been that way for at least 20 years now.

All the D3 schools on that list are either basketball schools (which is most of them) or football schools with strong basketball teams (like Randolph-Macon, for example). So yes attendance at those schools being higher than a lax/soccer school is to be expected. How is Randolph-Macon being on that list weird? They are normally a top-25 school in both men's and women's basketball, so yes they should rank on that list.
The weird part was the Hornets NOT being on the list while R-M WAS on the list.

And that is weird how? They are normally a top 25 basketball school, LC isn't. I don't see how that is weird. Of course, this comes from the same person who says Rafer Alston is better than Derek Fisher :roll:

Because they only draw 893 people, and the great LC with all its renown and splendor couldn't pull that. It wasn't so much the school as the attendance figure.
