The Lady Eagles basketball team has played exceptionally well this season with a 27-7 record. Despite their success, many fans have different attitudes toward the Lady Eagles. The majority of USM fans prefer to watch the men's basketball team because it is more exciting and aggressive. In order to get a complete picture of what the fans, the Lady Eagles and I think, I conducted a case study on the USM Lady Eagles basketball team. So, what are the attitudes toward the Lady Eagle basketball team from different perspectives? Do fans think they're boring and slow? Are the Lady Eagles aware of their limited fan support? I will also explain my thoughts on the Lady Eagles. Overall, the Lady Eagles are a very good team, and it's a shame that because they are women, fans don't put them on the same pedestal as the men's basketball team. It is important to better understand what others think of the team. Therefore, I am curious why some fans overlook the Lady Eagles and what the Lady Eagles think from a fan perspective. I wanted to learn more about the Lady Eagles basketball team, so I conducted field research and performed artifact analysis. . To get more information on the Lady Eagles, I wanted them to answer a few questions so I could better understand what the Lady Eagles thought about the fans' opinions. First, I scheduled an interview with three of the Lady Eagles: Alex Coyne, Markia Nix and Ashley Folsom. I chose these players for an interview because they were very outspoken and I could see that they really enjoyed playing this game. I visited the Reed Greed Coliseum; around 1:30 p.m. in February...middle of the log...not as exciting and aggressive to watch as the males. Overall, I can conclude that the Lady Eagles play because they have a strong passion for basketball, regardless of the support they receive from the fans. They may be women, but they are as powerful as their minds tell them to be. Works Cited Coyne, Alex. Personal interview. February 24, 2014. Folsom, Ashley. Personal interview. February 24, 2014.
