Syracuse Coach Criticizes Lack of Fan Support

Syracuse women's basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack expressed her frustration following a 73-70 loss to Albany, criticizing both her team's performance and the lack of fan support at home games. Despite the Orange's recent success, including a strong previous season, they have struggled this year with a 2-3 record and an average attendance of just over 2,000 in a venue that seats over 30,000. Legette-Jack lamented that 'nobody cares about our program' and challenged the community to demonstrate more support for women's basketball. She emphasized the need for her players to focus solely on their performance rather than the sparse crowd. The coach, who has deep ties to Syracuse, expressed disappointment in the fanbase and urged them to show up and invest in the team. The ongoing struggles highlight a significant disconnect between the program's ambitions and local support.
