Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Kentucky fans are crazy. The craziest, actually, specifically in the eyes of The Field of 68 Media Network.

The Field of 68 put out its list of the top 10 craziest fan bases in college basketball, with Kentucky unsurprisingly coming in at No. 1 overall. The Wildcats are followed by Arkansas at No. 2, Texas Tech at No. 3, Indiana at No. 4, Illinois at No. 5, Kansas at No. 6, NC State at No. 7, Michigan at No. 8, Auburn at No. 9 and Arizona at No. 10.

Three SEC schools out of the ten overall, with only one other blue blood program in Kansas — Indiana doesn’t count, and neither does Arizona.

Whether it be highlighting the best fans, most passionate, loudest or craziest, Big Blue Nation is always at the top of lists like this. Between selling out Rupp Arena or traveling for neutral site and postseason games, there’s no home-court advantage like the one Kentucky fans provide.

Kentucky has an all-time winning percentage of 89.2% (633-77) at Rupp Arena dating back to 1976, the year the historical venue opened. John Calipari also surpassed the 200-win mark inside Rupp back in January and pushed that total to 206 by year’s end.

What do you think, BBN? Do you agree?

“You people are crazy.”
