Re: Vote Vote Top 15 College basketball venues
I won't rank arenas that I have not been in personally, but I will mention three that I have been to that deserve to be in the top 15.
The Palestra - Clearly #1 in all of college basketball in my book. A place like MSG or the Carrier Dome just can't compare. The pinnacle of the college basketball experience is a Big 5 tripleheader at The Palestra.
Dayton Arena - There is a reason the NCAA has the PIG in Dayton every year. The fans and atmosphere are tremendous. A great place to visit.
Reilly Center, Saint Bonaventure University - The Bonnies may be down right now but the RC remains a truly great venue. Passionate fans who love their team, win or lose, they are inspiring both to their home team and the opponents. No group of fans makes a visiting player want to win more, just to spite them. I've been to both the Reilly Center and the Carrier Dome in upstate New York and the RC wins hands down between those two.

Re: Vote Vote Top 15 College basketball venues
It is an unfair question since over 95% of college hoops fans have never been to games at all of the universities within their own conference let alone other conferences.
I have been visiting Florida Spring training sites since 2003 but there are still 4 I have not been to (Reds, Pirates, Red Sox and Twins). It takes a great deal of planning.
Based on my own experience, the old days of the Palestra were the best - they let you throw streamers onto the court after your teams first made basket. The NCAA put a stop to that in the mid 1980s. The Palestra was built for basketball and no one minds sitting on the bleacher style benches for a couple of hours.

True I see your point, but many have seen games on TV, and know history of them, and you can base on that too.
of course I must be one of few 5%
