how's the fan turnout in Phoenix?

[Tops2008]

Fairly good tacos, chimichangas, churros, etc Saturday at Salt Tacos y Tequila UConn event, plus UConn pep band and cheerleaders. Expect same today.

Sold out immediately yesterday! Emailed the alumni foundation to try and get a alternate (unofficial) setup at the bar across the street from Salt, Wicked Wolf. Believe it was the official NC State spot Saturday, but hoping it’s open today.

Will see if he sends out the bat signal, but that’s where I’ll be posted up unless they open up more spots at the official.

Hi Niki, it's right outside the stadium but you needed to sign up for the guest list yesterday. However, after 5pm anyone can walk in.

Definitely need to take Purdue crowd out of the game early if possible. This is their Super bowl, World Series and and World Cup for them.......

 

[gtcam]

Even if there is not one UConn fan in the stadium - UConn has this!!!
No nerves no fear
Just dominant UConn basketball

Hosting a Tailgate - green lot 2:30 - be there

Phoenix is the Florida of Chicago.

On a flight from San Diego, more Purdue fans

We’ll be under dogs in the crowd. Stay strong no matter how out numbered you are you can be as loud as you want to.

Should have a full house of alums there especially with no NBA games tonight.

 

[AzHusky]

Got four tickets for tonight's game so thats four more for the good guys!

I am at the corner of 2nd and Washington downtown. Purdue is outnumbering us 9 to 1. But they are looking at my t shirt and looking away in fear. Need support. At majerles.

They fear the Husky will boil the Boilermaker.

Student turnout is embarrassing. 10 times as many Purdue students. Administration needs to do better helping the students get here. Either way we’re rolling, go skies

Solid food and fun. Only real UConn bar here. Otherwise swarming with Purdue fans.

[Dogammit]

We are outnumbered 7-1 with probably 20% neutral. This will definitely be a home friend for Purdue

I am here as well and agree that it was so disappointing how many Purdue fans are in the UConn section. If you are a donor of that level, why would you need to sell your tickets for profit. How about selling to someone you know is a UConn fan or just don't buy them and let them be there for a lower level donor who wants to go and support the team. We had annoying Purdue fans right behind us.

Could be business owned seats they are using for clients

 

[Stew Crew]

NC State and Alabama sections filled with mostly Purdue fans.

Our fans are acting complacent and entitled right now. Little cheering when team entered and exited court during warm ups.

We’re all in the concourse drinking. It’s about to get rowdy.

Purdue definitely has more, but we have a stronger than anticipated group ready to pop

I always feel like were a late arriving crowd it even felt like that in Boston.

 

[Hoops91]

First final game for Purdue that I can remember - I’m sure all their fans are there 70/30

 

[tzznandrew]

We sound loud on TV.

We did pick it up during the game.

UConn fans are experienced. They know when they can drink and when they need to get in their seats.

Tea-totaling Purdue fans don't know what's up.
