All well and good, but I think a more telling stat would be attendance in terms of % of capacity filled. UMess has one of the biggest arenas in the league, yet they played in front of only close family and friends, and thousands of students dressed as red seats. I'd be willing to bet Bona, even with their 1 win season, finished in the top third in % of capacity filled. Average attendance of 4,161; capacity of 6,000; we were nearly 70% sold out on the season, even with the poor record.

Bottom Line is Number -- that's what pays the bills and is what we will be judged on by conference and NCAA, if they ever decide to reduce the ranks!
That said, what is impressive is that we were middle-of-the-pack in coference with only 2 wins and would have around 3rd (excluding the new members) in a normal attendance year and should still be 5th or 6th w/the new league members!
