That could be because those fans are used to worrying about which top 8 seed we get as opposed to " I hope we host".
03 -10 we were only a national seed one year...In fact, tanner only led us to 5 national seeds in his time at Carolina. 00,02,04,11,12. So we have had plenty of years where top 16 was good enough. We had several years where we didnt even get a top 16 seed (1998*,1999**, 2001***, 2005,2006, 2008, 2009, 2010). So we didn't even host a regional in more years under tanner than he did host. We were a top 8 seed roughly a 1/3 of the time. I love Tanner, but from 04-10 he was in a mini slump where we werent hosting a ton, and we werent getting top 8 seeds. Granted the 40 win seasons help, but the SEC was not nearly as strong in the early to mid 2000's as it is now. The west coast still was probably better
* Different tournament format so it was harder to host
** Didnt make the tournament
*** Hosted, but UCF was the 1 seed because of lack of facilities. so not top 16.
So again, for a team currently set to host, for the second year in a row..the lack of support is still a bit surprising.

With almost zero success under Kingston the lack of support is not surprising.

The South Carolina Gamecocks baseball team has been a national seed four years in a row, from 2014–2017. The Gamecocks have also made 34 NCAA tournament appearances, 11 College World Series berths, 6 CWS Finals appearances, and won two National Championships, in 2010 and 2011
This is what the fanbase is used to. Your comment that the " lack of support is surprising" Should tell you I'm not alone in feeling the way I do. Should Kingston make it to the city in Nebraska the support will be there I assure you.
