That would be nice, but it wouldn't make a difference. Marquette fans are coming to games regardless. Casual fans will come if there is an intriguing team coming to town. There might be some college & NBA fans that go to Bucks games, but I'd bet a majority that go prefer the NBA. If there are no Bucks, they probably just stop attending basketball games.

Besides, the other difference is there is nothing else going on in Kentucky - so Louisville & Kentucky are hot tickets. In Milwaukee, by the time people finally give up on their death grips on the Packers/NFL, they then cling to the Brewers and spring training. There is more talk on local sports radio this time of year on pitchers & catchers reporting than on college hoops. Infuriates me, but that's the reality.
