New Mexico leads Mountain West in basketball attendance

The NCAA released its attendance numbers for this past basketball season and despite a season that ended just above .500 with a 17-15 record the New Mexico Lobos were a top-25 team for attendance this past year.

The Lobos averaged 13.030 per game at WisePies Arena The Pit for 16 games and that was good enough to be 23rd in the country, third for West Coat teams and tops in the conference.

  1. New Mexico: 13,030
  2. San Diego State: 12,209
  3. UNLV: 11,542
  4. Utah State: 8,874
  5. Nevada: 6,654
  6. Fresno State: 6,296
  7. Boise State: 6,274
  8. Wyoming: 5,481
  9. Colorado State: 3,853
  10. San Jose State: 1,647
  11. Air Force: 1,476

Seeing the Rams as low as they were is surprising since their program has been to an NCAA Tournament in recent years, and have not had a losing season in nearly a decade all the way back in the 2008-09 season where they went 9-22.
