Attendance Woes

Basketball attendance is down in the SEC.

The most surprising thing about that list?  South Carolina's attendance is up 17%.  If you've watched much Gamecock basketball this year, you know that's a hard number to explain.

Georgia is up 4%.  Make of that what you will.  I doubt it has McGarity doing cartwheels around Butts-Mehre though.

There is one bit of good news:

Potential NIT home games could still impact the SEC average.

I guess that's the consolation prize for filling up the NIT...
