Not even close. This past seasons statistics are not available on the NCAA's site, but the lowest Top 25 basketball attendance average was NC State at 12,641.

LSU's first place baseball attendance average would be good for 37th place behind Wichita State. Wyoming at 100th place on basketball is at 5,151, well ahead of Rice at 20th with 2,782 for baseball.

This idiotic notion that baseball is somehow a close second to football is absurd. It's a very distant third well behind basketball, no matter how much the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Arkansas wish otherwise.

But the total baseball attendance would be fourth, ahead of North Carolina.

364,700 tickets sold is something all but three NCAA basketball programs would love to reach in a season.

Heck, 364,700 tickets sold would be a dream for many football programs.

LSU baseball out drew Maryland football, which had a total of 354,728 attendance.

So LSU baseball attendance isn't just a close second to football. It's ahead of football attendance at many schools.

I it's on me for being too vague but I meant in the SEC. I imagine the lower basketball averages were around those higher baseball averages.

That's obviously not something you'd see across the country.

You won't hear me say that.

Hell...women's basketball tourney games get higher ratings than the CWS.
