Why LSU Basketball Fanbase can't be like UK?

I just finished watching clips of Big Blue Madness which is an event introducing the new UK men's basketball team to the fans and it looks like a million dollar rock concert production. The fans were super excited, almost sold out, and it just looks like so much fun.
I hate LSU basketball culture. The passion is lacking from the fans, the fans rarely sell out the arena (even with a good team), and it's just so bland compared to UK, Florida, and even Alabama now. LSU fans seemingly only care about football, baseball, and gymnastics

I can’t figure it out either. So many similarities between the 2 programs.

I hate you for this terrible thread. Why can't UK football be like lsu football. Why can't UK baseball be like lsu baseball. Why can't you be like bin laden?

Win the games and they will come!
See the LSU OU game 2 years ago! I was there and it was amazing

Alleva’s previous hires.
Coach Wade hopefully gets it going and we can get excited again about basketball.

I got to go to a game in Rupp Arena when Dale was still coach. It was one of the years we got our butts kicked, but the experience was fantastic. The atmosphere created by the fans there is incomparable. I was living in KY at the time for about a year. That time really gave me an appreciation for KY basketball. It’s hard to live there and not have some admiration for the program.

I bet UK fans say the same thing about their baseball and football fanbases and ask, "Why can't our baseball fanbase be like LSU?" or "Why can't our football fanbase be like LSU?" even though our football fanbase is shite now but still. It's about winning. UK basketball wins, draws huge crowds and support. LSU baseball wins draws fan support and LSU football competes and wins and draws one of the best fanbases in college football

This is the dumbest question ever. If we would won like Kentucky does I promise you we'd be going just as crazy if not more than they do. Winning brings the fans and nothing else. Just look at LSU baseball for example

That's not true ... when LSU was winning games they were plenty of noticeably empty seats in the PMAC and little to no tailgating outside. It always baffled me for a school that's passionate about winning and sports.

I just wish the basketball fan base and atmosphere at basketball games can get close to the enthusiasm level when Dale Brown had some of his very talented teams that competed very well with Kentucky.
Even if Wade has great success, the fan base enthusiasm may still not quite equal Kentucky's.

Why LSU basketball can’t be like U.K. ?

LSU has had pathetic coaching and teams lately in basketball. You ever wonder why UK's football atmosphere is so boring? Because they usually suck and their fans aren't excited.
Btw, when LSU was good for a long stretch under Dale Brown, the Deaf Dome was better than any place out there. And LSU still has 3 of the top 5 largest attended regular season games of all time (and 3 of the biggest crowds ever) in the Dome. When they've been really good, the LSU fans showed big time.
By the way, it's football season and Bama's basketball atmosphere sucks too.

If bandwagon twats would go to the games to start the season maybe it'd be a ridiculous atmosphere. Basketball is such a more exciting sport than baseball. I don't get it

UK is one of the winningest programs in NCAA basketball history. This thread could easily be "why UK's fanbase can't be like LSU?" in football.
(FYI: Florida's fanbase isn't that great. Especially when you consider just how great they were under Donovan. There routinely were empty seats in the O'Connell Center)
The Assembly Center was a madhouse in the 80's and early 90's. Students camped out on the ramps to get tickets. If you don't remember what it was like then it's probably because you weren't alive to see it. Or, you purposely just omitted that memory in this post. It can be that way again. All it takes is consistency. The fans will come.
Pre-Bertman, LSU routinely drew crowds in the dozens for baseball. If LSU basketball becomes a consistent national power the PMAC will be alive again. It's not going to happen over night. 5 NCAAT appearances in 20 years isn't going make a rabid fanbase

Because we don't care about irrelevant "sports".
NCAA basketball is also the dirtiest organization out there.
