The Pitt men's basketball team pulled out a 71-63 win over Big South opponent High Point on Tuesday night, but you'd be hard-pressed to find many witnesses to attest to that fact.
That's because attendance at the Petersen Events Center hit an all-time low for the regular season, according to Craig Meyer of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who added that the meager turnout for the game broke a record set 13 days before, when UC Santa Barbara came to town.
In total, 2,399 fans showed up for Tuesday night's game, meaning just 19 percent of the Pete's 12,508 seats were filled.
