Kentucky led the nation with an average of 22,271 fans per home game, followed by Syracuse (20,921) and Louisville (19,037). Fourth-place Carolina (18,688) was followed by Maryland (17,566), Wisconsin (16,930), Memphis (16,643), Indiana (16,527), Kansas (16,300) and Ohio State (16,057) in the top 10.
