MSG Crowd

[I Bleed Blue]

So what would be your best guess as far as crowd support by team? Percentages.

 

[amory]

60/40 UConn seems like a fair estimate

 

[I Bleed Blue]

60/40 UConn seems like a fair estimate

60% UConn
40% Other?

Wow, not bad.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Poor scheduling by warde, shoulda been played in storrs.

 

[Peacefrog]

Announcers said it was a "partsian" UConn crowd. Our fans sounded pretty loud on TV.

 

[UCweCONN]

50% UCONN.

 

[amory]

60% UConn
40% Other?

Wow, not bad.

Not only is it a proximity benefit, but our fanbase is already buying up tickets. Whereas Mich St/Virginia fans will be waiting until the game is over.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

From my living room down here in North Carolina, it sounded more like 65/35 or 70/30.

 

[CTGoonie]

On the train back now. ISU was limited to one section primarily, Msu was largely MIA but the Wahoos were well represented

 

[LeftCoastHusky]

Virginia fan base is on fire.

 

[amory]

I feel like I'm crazy for saying this, but I'd rather see MSU on Sunday.

 

[patrick]

90% us

10% them


They had two fans behind there bench in yellow hoodies and 8 people rooting for that kid from y o (Yonkers). The rest was bleeding blue!



But that's just what tbs showed!

 

[ConnHuskBask]

UVA crowd is loud, wow.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Are UConn fans at MSG rooting for UVA? UVA fans seem just as loud, if not louder than UConn fans on TBS.

 

[Gurleyman]

Virginia is having their Dream Season - essentially 1990 for us. They're enjoying the magic carpet ride, since this is all so new and expected. We lined the highways for miles to greet the team coming home after they lost.

 

[UCstinga]

They're loud because there are A LOT of UVA fans here.

 

[patrick]

No way!!

UCONN was much much louder!

 

[UCstinga]

Maybe on TV, but UVA fans are surprisingly loud in here. Uconn was pretty quiet comparatively. This place goes bananas every time UVA does anything. They're gonna lose though, so just more tix for uconn fans.

 

[UCstinga]

Ummmm, maybe I spoke to soon...

 

[LeftCoastHusky]

The place was waaaay too quiet during our game and especially during the last few minutes. Kind of a letdown. We had the numbers though.

 

[UCstinga]

Uconn fans were all over the place, just quiet. Hope that changes for Sunday.

I can't talk this morning, because I was screaming the whole game. The biggest let down of course was the UConn section. It was filled with high roller alumni, a bunch of bankrolled fans that sat on their hands the entire game. While the Virginia and Iowa State fan sections had much younger groups that were very vocal. The Garden was about 40% UConn fans, 20% Iowa State, 30% Virginia, 10%MSU

 

[willie99]

Sunday it's going to look like the BET championship vs Louisville in 2011, 85/15

Friday I would guesstimate

Uconn 42
UVA 33
ISU 15
MSU 10

A LOT of young UConn fans in the lowers were also quiet and just sitting and clapping. I was also yelling whole game and trying to get others to stand and cheer. It seems like many of our fans did not make it on time before tipoff ... probably at the bars. We need the fans to be better Sunday against MSU.

 

[Brochacho]

A quiet UVA fan does not exist, they filled up a solid third of MSG probably, and their female fans were hot.
