I never said that college basketball was not important to the good folks of Tennessee. I know that it is. That stat was just something that I heard or read recently and found it pretty amazing. BTW- The Dean Dome holds 20k plus, The RBC Center 19k, Wake Forest's holds 14k. I personally like college basketball less and less every year after growing up a fanatic. I much prefer college football an devote an absurd amount of my available free time following it. All that said, hoops is much more important in NC than it is in Tennesssee. The opposite is true with college football.
