Despite playing the final six weeks of the season with a postseason ban hanging its head, Louisville basketball still ranked 3rd in the nation for attendance during the 2015-16 college hoops season.
For like the 95th year in a row, the Cards finished behind Syracuse and Kentucky, which flip-flopped at the top this year.
Here's the full top 10:
- Kentucky (17 games: 397,148/23,361)

The ACC ranked 3rd among conferences when it came to average attendance per team, ranking just behind the Big 10 and the SEC (thanks, Boston College ... and probably Miami ... I'm too lazy to look it up).
