OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton Men's Basketball team has finished in the top-10 nationally in average home attendance for the fifth straight season, according to figures released by the NCAA on Wednesday.
Creighton attracted 302,887 fans to CenturyLink Center Omaha in 19 home dates, good for an average of 15,941 to place 10th. The team could have been eighth with an average of 17,065 if not for a pair of home National Invitation Tournament games that dropped CU two spots.
Kentucky led the nation for the ninth time in the last 11 years with 23,361 fans per home game, taking the top spot over from two-time defending attendance champ Syracuse (21,592).
