The Carrier Dome
Syracuse's basketball team isn't eligible to compete in college basketball's postseason, but the Orange still claimed a championship of sorts.
For the second year in a row, the Orange clinched the home attendance crown with 25,388 fans at Monday night's loss to Virginia at the Carrier Dome. In both of Syracuse's seasons as an Atlantic Coast Conference member, coach Jim Boeheim's teams have drawn largest crowds in college hoops.
Last season, Syracuse averaged 25,253, again boosted by the first ACC season that included a visit from Duke. This season, the final number is 23,525.
The Carrier Dome's capacity for basketball is listed at 35,446.
UK, which was No. 1 in attendance from 2005-2013, is expected to finished second and, as it has since opening the KFC Yum! Center, Louisville third. The NCAA's official numbers are released each summer
