C-USA Tournament: Attendance and excitement down

By Ronnie Woodward - May 25, 2007

Only hundreds of fans are on hand for the Memphis-UCF game here at Greenville, NC's Clark-LeClair Stadium. I guess it's hard to keep attendance up with the host team and the No. 1 seed not playing. C-USA teams are also spread out halfway across the country and the visiting teams haven't brought too many fans with them. Tulane has had one of the stongest followings of the visiting teams, so we'll see if attendance picks up for what should be a good game in third-seeded Southern Miss and No. 7 Tulane.

As for the opening game, I have to admit, it's not the most entertaining game. Memphis is in complete control, up 11-5 in the 7th.
