OK. So we know the refs hate us. It’s us against the world now. But we also have not been playing up to our potential - at all. And let’s not forget that these are BE road games. Did we expect to win every BE road game? Not gonna happen, even if we were calling our own fouls. What I did notice is that the X and PC crowds were wild. So how hostile can we make it for Creighton on Saturday? I know @gampelcrazies is with me. Let’s do this and get back on track. They boys need us, so let’s have their back.
 
I was there tonight. Crowd was good but way far from overwhelming.

Please. Someone else at the game correct me if I was off.

It better be crazy. Both Xavier and Providence fans came to wreak havoc. It worked.

It did. We were rattled. LETS BRING IT. This is not the time to sulk or bail. We have a squad. These are BE road games. What did we expect? To cakewalk though the BE?

Seemed great on TV. And aside from 10 minutes vs Georgetown we haven’t really brought it yet either. Seemed like they got up good even in the first half tonight - something our crowd doesn’t usually do. We wait for the second half to get up.

This makes me think of the loudest game I've ever been to ... was when there was a Blizzard and all the tickets were donated to us students vs. Pitt. The entire Gampel was filled with students .... I'm pretty sure it was the very first ever college ball game day too. We lost on a buzzer beater....

Agreed. Both Gampel and XL have been lacking this year. Went to the Dunk tonight and it was wild crowd. Need the energy Saturday
 
Ya ya ya. I realize I started this thread. This thread should be the top one at the moment. It’s all that matters. I’m bumping it. Let’s go you bums.

Meaning he thinks we will be an NIT team whether we are playing in front of no fans or a full house

I think it’ll be made even more hostile by the fact that this game feels like a must-win to keep 1/2 seed hopes alive. I’ll be there +1.

Meaning he’s a punk and should come see me. Love your attitude. Let’s go baby!!!!
 
I remember days when you guys were winning titles with Rip, where I was sitting with 2900 other people at a Valley game trying to eke out a win against Drake or someone just to qualify for the 8 team Valley conference tournament, while thanking God that our school didn’t bump down to D3 in all sports like it looked like they might.

After that, the fact that this thread exists at all - at any point in time in any universe - is in my eyes really something else.

ummm, no. they were a big deal thruout. don't take my word for it tho. we had one guy yellin 'go back to New York u lawn burger eaters' so we might have missed the funeral atmosphere elsewhere in the Dunk.
nope, don't take my word, take danny's word for it! when u get past all the 'embarassed,' 'tension' and such stuff from him on this presser, u'll hear him talk aboot the crowd's effect.
i'm not embarassed. the team wasn't embarassed. i don't know what he's talking aboot, but i do know that, especially after a loss, his pressers are the exact same - he nervously and continually stares down at a stat sheet, regurgitating some number as an answer. predictable by now.

'we were scared watching the film.' on hops game.
 
It'll be my first and likely only time up at Gampel this season. I'll be up at Storrs early to soak in the magic of the campus (Horsebarn Hill, top of Homer Babbidge, maybe Mansfield Hollow).

Prior to my drive, I'll have a nice coffee, a meditation that will center and focus me to a Hurley-esque chaos once the game starts.

Same routine as what I do before I coach games: super calm all day (my general affect) and then 75 minutes of energy...

CAN'T WAIT!

one - the refs don't hate UConn - that is such a shallow argument/statement
two - if they do have rabbit ears it's because of the actions and words of only one person and that needs to be addressed and rectified ASAP

Refs hate Dan Hurley. Therefore they hate us.

Creighton fans are happy to simply be in the BE. We have higher standards here. That being said, Creighton has a formidable team and we are currently hungry for a W. Get ready for the ruckus tomorrow.

I am fully expecting some vigorous “ref you suck” chants. If I’m there, I’m booing every single questionable call. I’m not sure that that helps us or hurts us.

Looks like they put some of the student section for sale on secondary markets

Couldn't be further from the truth, that gym was rockin' the whole game. Any three pointer they made the place erupted like they hit a buzzer beater. Didn't take 4 nice plays in a row for the crowd to stand up, and the crowd wouldn't use one mistake as an excuse to sit back down. Place put what we've seen at XL and Gampel so far this year to shame

I also disagree completely. It was quite loud from the jump, seemingly louder than Gampel has gotten recently (and I have Gampel season tickets). I was practically in the student section, and many students were throwing beer cans all over the place, multiple "Ef Dan Hurley" chants. Everything feels a little tighter in The Dunk, like the fans are almost on top of the court. The seats are so tight together, also.

I think the crowd was a factor- we were way out of whack on both ends of the floor. Visibly rattled.
