Iowa State ranked among the nation’s leaders in attendance for the seventh year in a row during the 2015-16 season. Hilton Coliseum had the 16th highest average attendance among Division I men’s basketball programs.

The Cyclones averaged 14,270 fans per game, filling the arena at 99.21 percent capacit throughout the season.

They finished the year with a 14-2 home record, and they’re 76-7 at home in the last five seasons.
