Trojan Basketball No#1 In Attendance

When sports fans and supporters talk about school spirit, student body enthusiasm and community support for their athletic programs, especially basketball, you have to make a very special mention about Virginia State University.   Fox Sports News released a report by the NCAA on men’s basketball attendance.  The King of the Hill in men’s basketball attendance in the NCAA Division II is none other than Virginia State University.  The Trojans averaged 3,471 fans per game.  This is an average of all of our designated home games.

Students at Virginia State University love to support their athletic programs especially men’s basketball.   Why do we have such a strong fan base and support for home games?   Well the University is home to a national award winning marching band, directed by Dr. Mark Phillips.  When this band puts together its 25-member pep band and strolls into Daniel Gym, the noise is off the chart.   Another reason for having a strong fan base is the Virginia State University Woo Woo Cheerleaders who are nationally known throughout HBCU’s.  Dr. Paulette Johnson, the coach of the Woo Woo’s takes pride in her coaching responsibilities. 

Being a member of one of the strongest basketball conferences (CIAA) in the country at any level is another reason why fans support the VSU Trojans.  When you are competing against some of the best teams in NCAA Division II basketball, fans and supporters want to see their Trojans do well.   Coach Tony Collins who is the new Head Men’s basketball coach, plans to continue the rich tradition of Trojan basketball.

With approximately 5, 000 enthusiastic students, Daniel Gymnasium’s seating improvements, new scoreboard system, new scorers table and new lights, the Trojans are ready to keep their fans in the seats.  When you enter Daniel Gymnasium you will see championship banners hanging from the rafters, an entertaining world class pep band, the best cheerleaders in the land, a loud and supportive student body and a quality men’s basketball team on the floor.  

Virginia State University is proud to be number #1 in men’s basketball attendance in the NCAA Division II basketball competition and this upcoming season is sure to be exciting and fun for Trojan fans.
