Back home, the Lynx aren't drawing any fans -- attendance is down over 10% from last year. Strangely, contrary to this report a few days ago, Pam Schmid says overall league attendance is up this year.

But the good news in Minneapolis: Gopher attendance has been up, and next year Minnesota could get some home-court advantage for the tournament.

These two trends may be linked: one of the fans in the StarTrib article says that his family dropped their Lynx season tickets and got Gophers season tickets instead.
