Props to the Hartford crowd

[champs99and04]

Booing dance teams, heckling refs, imploring people to stand whenever they went on a 4-0 run. These last couple nights are two of the rowdiest crowds I've been apart of.

They were ready to explode and were really into it. It could have had a great game.

And it was ruined. Right from the start when they missed a clear travel on Cincinnati that a 10 yr old kid in front of me saw and yelled TRAVEL you just knew it was going to be 3 blind mice out there.

You missed screaming obscenities at the Cincy fan doing the 3 point challenge.

They actually let a Cincy fan do that? in XL? Bold.

Sixth. They had to keep handing em out anyway. Had to keep the quota.

At the UConn USF game they allowed a kid in a UCLA Lonzo Ball jersey do it instead of some UConn teen
Kid was from Glastonbury rooting for a UCLA freshman instead of wearing a Shabazz or Kemba jersey.
Kids today.

That kid was a scumbag

He had an attitude no doubt.

The Lonzo Ball kid banged the shots.

The Cincinnati kid was fun when he made the shot and got carried like a baby by the Bearcat.

It was a "neutral" conference site, had to include all team's fans, we were the "visiting" team

The St. Patricks Day parade this morning may have helped. We had a good time though The Cincy guy taking the shots was barking at the crowd so we barked back haha. It was pretty great when the mascot was carrying him around. We could have been so much more into it if there wasn't a whistle every 30 seconds. I've never been to a basketball game that took 2.5 hours to finish before. So frustrating.. BOTH WAYS! Especially for two former Big East teams where the conference was known for physical play and bumps and bruises.

Went to every UConn game this tournament and each atmosphere was fun and got better every night. If we are stuck in this miserable conference I hope they hold the tournament in Hartford regularly ... but with different refs. Crowd was rowdy and energetic, it was a lot of fun as a UConn fan!

Glastonbury was the tipoff.

 

[husky8273]

Glastonbury was the tipoff.

You've confused the two - the Cincinnati fan was not from Glastonbury

 

[willie99]

The crowd was awesome, the team played hard, Ollie did a great job, only Karl Hess and his CYO crew stopped us.
No offense to CYO referees intended.

The game was "rigged". Not fixed, I don't believe that stuff, but I know malpractice and incompetence when I see it

 

[Calhoun's Court]

The crowd was great
The only exception way too many drunks from the St Patricks Day Parade. The ones around me in section 213 had little to no idea about basketball. Pretty much swore and yelled you suck the entire game.
Added nothing positive to the atmosphere.
