Copied from the bball board:

Although there's much room for improvement, the student turnout and engagement last night was the best since Belmont. I say that from the perspective of the ESPN stream where the sound balance is kinda effed. There was clearly a crowd that wanted to be involved in the game, but just needs to be led.

Chase, if you're willing to take this on as a leader, here are some little things the section should work on:

-The O Zone needs to stand all game. It was so funny watching stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down during live game play. Take a break to sit if you need to during timeouts, but when the ball's in play, stand up and keep encouraging others to do the same.

-Do some kind of organized chanting on at least every other offensive and defensive possession, even if it's the generic stuff. But also look for opportunities to really stick it to the opponent in an organized way > "You can't do that", coach getting upset at the refs "Sit down shut up", "Airball" every time the airball shooter gets a touch the rest of the game.

-Every three pointer or dunk should send the section into delirium. Check out the immediate reaction on Tommy's first three pointer: https://youtu.be/T-LH_DLuu6I?t=298 . That should be the reaction on every three. Go right into that Cameron Crazies "Ohh" thing for the next defensive possession, know what I mean? https://youtu.be/RhSvG06qx-I?t=129

-Tommy hit a three at about the 2:20 mark in the second half to put us up 10. https://youtu.be/T-LH_DLuu6I?t=3730 . I thought that was a huge moment in the game when not only the students, but the entire building should have risen to its feet. There was a big immediate reaction but then it went silent pretty quick and BG calmly made a three on the next possession. That possession really needed to be sustained LOUD noise. In fact, from the moment on, in an under 10 point game, every defensive possession should have had something.

We should have two more wins going into the next home game, a primetime national TV date with the other clear contender in this league. Big opportunity to that we are undoubtedly the best home atmosphere in the conference.

That will happen. Don’t let them get to you and press on. Do your thing.

When they used to have the Women/Men play doubleheaders ('86-'92), our group of 8-10 would get to the student section before the Women's game, just so we could sit in the Front row.

BVP shouted you all out. He said the students have been great and to bring the noise and your 10 closest friends on Friday.
