When LSU sells a ton of baseball tickets or Michigan sells a ton of hockey tickets and their fan bases are particularly intense, I think that we can fall into the trap into perceiving that those sports are actually more popular than basketball at those campuses.
All true.

I attended the Michigan/Ohio State hockey game last night at Value City Arena. Announced attendance = 8,737 and the crowd was very much into it from start to finish (UM 1, #12 OSU 0). But nothing like what a MBB game would've been.
