More important, the attendance - 13,315. Lucky to see half that in Gampel.

Yes...we were commenting at the game....excellent crowd. 200's on the sides pretty filled. I heard the new bar area at one end was packed.
 
yeah great crowd today---that new bar is pretty cool---holds a lot of people & good view of the game---first come first serve seeting.
there were a ton of people in the bar (might have had something to do w the Pats game being on tv @ the same time ;) )
 
I guess fans care more about wings then about our team and players. Wow! times must be tough.

I was at the game today. From where I was sitting, I thought the crowd was more disappointed about Pat Lenehan not getting to shoot.

I was at the game too and thought the same thing. I didn't know about the wing promo until now.

The crowd was having fun.

Nobody was really getting booed.

It's not a litmus test of the fans.

Exactly. If the crowd realizes what's going on, the team does too. They are in the same building and they are not morons. If you realize what is happening there is a good chance the team does too. My guess is most of the people complaining about this were not at the game as usual. BWW still sucks though. lol
 
If you were at the game and didn't realize what was happening I'd ask if you are deaf? They announced when UConn had 73 with about 4-5 minutes left and groups of people were chanting about wings.

What the heck did you think people were booing about?

Yeah Ollie and the team didn't know what was going on - they usually get randomly booed up 33 points for no reason.
 
No big deal. The kids wanted wings and were denied. Free wings to a student is important. Have some posters (i.e. old farts) forgotten those days?

Do people really believe they booed the team's performance?

It was a weird last few minutes. Crowd was pumped to see Pat get the 82nd point, naturally disappointed when he didn't. From where I was sitting people we're making a joke about it, nobody was genuinely upset. But free wings are a big deal for "starving" college kids.
 
As I said to my family (one of whom is a big Lenehan fan), if Lenehan hit the last shot and it put us over 82, I think the crowd might have carried him off on their shoulders.

Yeah we also have fans that go apes*it over free T-Shirts that say Dunkin Donuts or Webster Bank so nothing surprises me and I'm pretty sure every other fanbase is the same.

I never understood about the tee shirt freak out that happens at every game- NBA- NCAA it just not matter- people go nuts. The tee shirts could say " I' m with stupid" and have an arrow pointing strait up and people will still knock over a 10 year old to get to it.
 
I don't understand why everyone is hating on the taste of bww....I must not have a refined palate like everyone who creates and comments on the "Best _____ in CT" threads

Or, you may simply like the taste of body odor.

And it's mostly the 10 year olds' fault. For some reason those little punks think they should have free reign to every freebie at the stadium. I usually pick out the ones whose parents are at the beer line and knock them silly. And I don't care if the shirt is a smedium. I'm putting it on right away no matter where the arrow points.

Omar knew what was going on. I had a fat guy in his 40's near me going crazy the last few minutes. If you see the whole court you saw Ollie give the hold signal prior to the last possession. There was no need to go crazy the last 30 seconds. It was a wrap prior to the possession unless a kid ignored the coach.

Afterwards there was a "Thank you Geno" chant.
