As far as I know, students sign no contract requiring them to come out and support Fairfield basketball.

I think any athletic team has to earn its support. The St. Joes game was the worst home court defeat we have ever suffered.There was lots of students there, but who the hell could cheer for that team? The effort just wasn't there.
In addition, we field a team that concedes rebounding, shot blocking etc right off the bat because we are so small.
There's a lot of reasons NOT to come out to see Fairfield basketball, and thats why we draw poorly.
I hope efforts like FU gave in the Providence game will draw people back, if it continues.
Blame the team, blame the coach, blame the AD. Stop blaming the fans- they'll come out if we produce a winner.
