Great points CaliCuse.  I couldn't agree more.

I personally don't like the ACC's Sunday-Thursday game schedule for the women.  13 of SU's 16 ACC games this season follow this schedule.  Sunday is the last day of the weekend and some people take that day to lay low and relax, some go to church, for others its 'family day time with the kids,' the NFL playoffs are on now, some go out for breakfast/brunch, lunch, dinner.  I think its a bad day to have games.  I'm not making excuses for people.  Thursday isn't much better in my opinion.

When Coach Q took the squad to his first NCAA tournament as head coach here (I believe it was the 2007-08 season), if memory serves the average attendance was 1500 and change.  We were in the Big East then and they had games on Saturdays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.  I remember over 3,000 showing up in the dome for the St. John's game, which was on a Saturday.  Nearly 5,000 showed up for the UConn game here that year.  That was either on a Tuesday or Wednesday night.  For some reason it seems Saturdays, and Mondays-Wednesdays are the best days to host games in the dome for both of our basketball teams.  The attendance seems to be better on these days.
