While Miami was ranked sixth nationally as a basketball-crazed city for NBA fans, that ranking was only 104th for college basketball according to the WalletHub article. It’s not clear if the college basketball rankings included Florida Atlantic and Florida International or were solely based on the Miami basketball program.
Wallet Hub compared 290 cities with NBA and NCAA basketball programs on 21 metrics to determine who has the best fans. The Hurricanes have sold out season tickets for the last four seasons in basketball. Under Jim Larranaga, the Miami basketball program has created a good homecourt advantage at the Watsco Center.
