The opening of the Big Ten slate pulled in a "respectable" crowd a hair over 6,000 in the game against Indiana. And it wasn't the biggest crowd of the season.
The Rutgers men had three home games over the holiday break. They averaged 4,567 per game for the trio. That's just over 57% capacity at the RAC. It included the season's second largest crowd - 6,002 - for the Big Ten opener against Indiana. Considering that students were heading home, the numbers really weren't all that bad. Though the truth is, Rutgers simply doesn't have that much to offer to draw fans in.
