Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 4490417, member: 12147"] This might come off condescending and I don't mean it that way at all, but Xavier was the #22 team and they were hosting #2. Providence was unranked and they were hosting #4. Those crowds are going to beat our crowds vs. unranked opponents every time. Not an indictment of our fan base, but the stakes have been significantly lower for us in every home game than it was for Xavier and Providence, and that's not even considering how crazy those arenas typically are anyway. Creighton may be a different story because of the history of the last 2 years (and because we're on a losing "streak"), but I'm not at all surprised that Xavier and Providence's crowds were much louder than ours have been Hopefully tomorrow proves me wrong! This is a huge game for us [/QUOTE]
