Top Ten College Basketball Venues

I really enjoyed making the top 10 list for College Football venues so I have decided to make a basketball list......enjoy and give feedback.

1. Cameron Indoor Stadium- (Duke)I hate Duke, I hate Coach K, Duke grads players may not always translate well to the NBA......I can keep on going on how I and others loath the Blue Devils but the fact is this is without question the hardest place to play in College hoops.















2. Allen Fieldhouse- (Kansas) tradition check, current success check, great nba stars check, and one of the loudest and most recognizable arenas in the nation when the lights shine threw the windows during a afternoon game its a beautiful thing.
















3. Rupp Arena- (Kentucky) History is only rivaled by UCLA and Rupp and its 23,000 fans make for one of the most intimidating places in the nation to place......all the banners might have a thing to do with it....could also be the crazy redneck fans.

















4. Hinkle Fieldhouse- (Butler) They may not always be able to compete with the big boys but lately they have held their own and in terms history and charm Hinkle is hard to beat.....it's often said that they put windows in at one end of the arena so god could watch the games too......and Hoosiers was shot here I mean come on, not to mention its one of the oldest stadiums still in use.














5. Williams Arena- (Minnesota) Not always a top team but when they are this place is rockin.....and its history is unquestionable add to all that the uniqueness of the raised floor and you have a top 5 arena.














6. Pauly Pavilion-(UCLA) History is unmatched.....if only they didn't have the spoiled LA fans.

7. O'Connell Center- (Florida) Recent success is unquestioned and so is the noise just not quite on the level of the rest of this field.

8.Oklahoma St.- Absolutely crazy atmosphere I don't think their fans care whether they are good or not which is the way it should be.

9. Gonzaga- Small school, small arena, amazingly successful, amazing fans.....I love watching this place go nuts when they upset the big dogs.

10. Mac Court-(Oregon) I absolutely love the way this place is built and thats why I am so happy they are using its blue print for the new arena that is currently under construction....but Mac Courts charm and decibel is up there with all the greats.

Honorable Mention- Vandy, Rutgers, St. Josephs, New Mexico, Dean Dome, Wisconsin, Penn
