The product on the floor may not have been as well decorated this season in comparison to years past, but that hasn't stopped loyal supporters in walking through the turnstiles.
According to the MSU athletic department, the Spartans rank first in the Big Ten and eighth in the country in total attendance for women's basketball games as of Feb. 17.
This was evident during Sunday's upset victory over No. 20 Rutgers, when the sellout crowd almost caused the roof to collapse due to their game changing screams that gave the Scarlet Knights problems for the entire 40-minutes of play.
In 15 games played at the Breslin Center during the 2014-15 campaign, a total of 89,796 fans have made the trek to East Lansing in support of the green and white.
Averaging 5,986 a game, it's the second highest total in the conference, behind Purdue, who has brought in 6,220.
This will now be the 11th straight year in which the Spartans have finished a season ranked in the top-15 in fan attendance. They finished at No. 7 last season.
