WVU basketball attendance strong this season

Though some weekday games and inclement winter weather kept attendance low at some points, this was one of the best seasons in the arena that has stood for more than four decades.

Tonight's attendance is 12,680. For the season, WVU averaged 10,583 fans – the fourth highest attendance average in Coliseum history.

The strong showing on Senior Night helped overshadow poor attendance earlier in the season.

WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins called out the fans and students, but they responded well at the end of the Big 12 Conference slate.
