A tidbit of info on Miami's potential support of a winner.
In Leonard Hamilton's last year at Miami (they won the Big East that year by the way), Attendance for their final two home games was 6100, and 7500. That was when they were playing at the 15000 seat Miami Arena. Three years later they built the BankUnited Center a facility with a maximum capacity of 8000. Miami doesn't even support their football teams.
