I guess my response to your original post could be considered "defending". But I do agree with you, there does not seem to be a great deal of interest. I hope that will change with a new coach, a new brand of ball and, most importantly, more wins. Historically, UND's men's program has had a very good following. A lot of people lost interest over the last few years due to 1) what most people thought was a lackluster effort and 2) the fact that the women's team was much more successful and much more fun to watch. With some success, I certainly hope the interest in and excitement for UND men's BB will return.
But, unfortunately - your perception is probably quite true!
