The folks at Fresno State called their crowds "a little disappointing."

Overall, the numbers aren't great, and most of the televised games showed tons of empty seats. Women's basketball games at neutral sites are still a tough sell.

Mary Jo writes in to note the importance of the local media in turning out good crowds. She took a look at the reporting in the eight markets and gave "high marks to newspapers in or near Dallas, Minneapolis, Seattle, College Park, Knoxville and Storrs. They all had fresh stories with a byline I recognize."

Here, the Star-Trib was excellent -- it sent not only Michael Rand but two other beat reporters to the games (plus columnist Pat Reusse) and produced byline reports on all of the games, not just the Gopher games.
