The 2022-23 season for the Oregon men’s basketball team came to a close on Tuesday night as the Ducks fell to Wisconsin 61-58 in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).

Oregon head coach Dana Altman had more complaints about the lack of support from Ducks fans than anything else and expressed it in the postgame press conference. Oregon was at home in Eugene for the game while the Badgers had to travel.

"You see the commitment that Wisconsin makes, they got their cheerleaders, their band. And we make a commitment – don’t get me wrong here. You can just see how important it is. It was important to them. It was important to me," Altman said, via The Oregonian. "We should’ve had more people here tonight, alright? These guys play hard, 3,300 people is not good enough. If it’s me, then get rid of me. If you need somebody else to be a promoter, do something, but 3,300 people is embarrassing. It really is."

The paper noted that Oregon’s three NIT games drew some of the lowest crowd numbers since the Matthew Knight Arena opened in January 2011. The Ducks reportedly drew about 5,937 people per home game this season, down more than 1,000 from last season.
