Thousands flew across the country tosee the Bulldog basketball team defeat DePaul and win the National Invitational Tournament in New York in 1983. The 'Red Wave* has set attendance records at Bulldog Diamond, where the women's softball team has overpowered opponents on their way to seven straight College World Series appearances. Yet, for the past four years, the 'Red Wave' has dwindled to a mere ripple when it comes to filling Selland Arena, the crypt of the men's basketball team. The reason, they're not winning. Everyone likes to be associated with a 'winner'. Claiming to be a true 'Red Waver' is easier said than done. The decline of Bulldog basketball began in 1986, the final year the 'Dogs were coached by Boyd Grant, when they went 15- 15. The arrival of two new head coaches over the next six years has not made the situation any better. In all, it takes 10,159 fans to fill Selland Arena to capacity. During the 1989- 90 season, an average of 9,920 fans turned out for basketball games. During the 1990-91 campaign, that number dipped to 9,852. It didn't get better the following year either as 9,770 showed up. Last year, a mere 8,993 withstood the storm and made the trip across town to see the games.
