Musketeer Madness

Anyone agree with me that the crowd was one of the best this year? The fans fed off the players emotions and in response the players got it done. It felt like an arena of a 13th ranked team. A win is a win, so lets keep them coming!

They sounded great from my sofa! Could you guys hear me over there???

I was at the game, and the crowd was definitely the best of the year. When Stanley hit the 3 to go up in the second half, I thought the roof was coming off.

Best part was when the student section got the st. joe fan kicked out. 800 college students chanting "that kid sucks" was amazing.

At times, the crowd "exploded" with a collective roar. It was awesome!

Probably the loudest I have ever heard at the cintas center. Still does not rival the noise level that the Gardens would generate though. I don't think noise carries vey well at the tas.

I have to think that most A10 teams come to the Cintas Center and are blown away by the fan support. How mnay other A10 teams fill their arena for virtually every game? Ok, UD, but what about the teams from the east coast?

The crowd was the 3rd best one of the year behind the Crosstown Shootout and Tennessee games. I thought the crowd for the most part was TERRIBLE. Our stucents SUCK. I would like someone to come on here and talk about them, because they don't chant or clap that much at all. They sit on their hands for 13-14 minutes in the second half and only come alive the last 6-7 minutes when it was back in forth.

We need to realize that we really need to bring the energy when we are down and encourage baskets and encourage defensive stops. I thought the students sucked. Not only that, but the game was an announced sellout, but there were a lot of empty seats in the student section near the top. For a non-football school, what do some of these lazy students have to do on a Sunday? Support your team.

This is not a bash at all students, because there are a select few who go to every game and live and die XU blue and white. For the other posers who view this as a social event, get into the damn game.

I was yelling my lungs out from the top row of section 205 and thought the crowd was great at the end, but very weak in the early parts of the second half.

There will be those to defend saying there was not much to cheer about...I watch college basketball on ESPN all week and see the duke's and Kansas, and all the other "BIG-TIME" schools. Our crowd is not as big time as it was.

Heck we have only sold out I think 4 games this entire year. For a top 15 team that is SAD. I know we are normally close to a sell out, but come on. The crowd has not been nearly as good since David West lost and that is a fact.

I haven't been back in the 'Tas since I left XU back in 2006, I remember specifically the George Washington game. GW was #8 in the country, the game was on the real ESPN, on Thursday night or something at like 7. I had been sick all week and didn't get a ticket when they came out, but was feeling better and about 15 minutes before tip off, I went over to the ticket window to try my luck, and sure enough there were still student tickets available. Not only that but they were in the lower section as well. I was shocked.

That being said, whenever I turn on the TV and see the student section full I wonder where they were when I went there.

I thought the crowd was great today, I pretty much lost my voice in the 1st half...oh LA Muskie I could here you to my right but sometime in the 2nd half you voice got horse and sounded like a girl....Oh wait that was Surf's oldest sitting next to me...I lost my hearing in the 2nd half.
