The Tigers get one of the best home-court advantages in the league in one of the best arenas.
That quote is why Auburn is too low in this ranking. Historically they haven't been great, but have had good runs. The new Arena vs the old dump has changed a lot for the good for Auburn. A Sonny Smith said when he saw it, I could have recruited a lot better with this place.
PS: I don't remember TN packing out Thompson Boling in the past when they were not good. Not arguing their ranking, I just don't remember them being that passionate about BB.

Tennessee fluctuates between Top 5-10 in attendance nationally almost every year. They were #4 in the country in attendance last year and the only other SEC team besides Kentucky to crack the Top 5. They have a very passionate basketball fanbase.
Arkansas was #11 and the next closest was South Carolina @ #28.

If everyone in the conference had the success that UK has, Arkansas and Tennessee are the two fan bases I've seen that come remotely close to being able to be in that ballpark.
As far as just consistent support regardless of the ups and downs of a team each year, LSU....State....Carolina.
