This crowd is duck______ awesome.

 

[tomtom80]

crowd sounded RAUCOUS on TV. Big advantage

 

[CL82]

Oh this crowd is up there with our best. Really terrific job. I think the energy after the second Hurley T rattled Villanova. It definitely rattled the refs. Even Rafferty was saying that it was “dangerous.“

 

[rman726]

I hate the XL Center. It never feels as good of a crowd as Gampel IMO But they did well tonight.

 

[UCLJ0211]

For all the “Gampel vs. XL” talk on here, you simply can’t beat the XL when there are 15,000+ screaming fans.

 

[UCfor3]

Two games in a row with an absolutely rabid crowd. Incredible. The worm is turning.

 

[husky429]

XL vs Gampel talks are the worst but two things are true:

1) gampel for average games is better

2) XL at its best is a step up from Gamp at its best.

Just think that xl is our “3rd” home court after MSG.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Fans were great. The XL Center was loud Azzi Fudd.

they can fit probably another 300 or so if they don't keep the seating like a hockey game

 

[BigFanCT]

Was there. And it was loud. It’s been a long, long time, but it was extremely loud.

 

[CL82]

My watch

Outstanding. The only thing better would’ve been if it was giving you a warning because your pulse was too high

 

[Huskybass]

A full XL center can absolutely rock. It seemed to tonight.

 

[Bomber36]

Thank you crowd…you made me proud!

It's always been so.

Yea when we can pack the XL that place gets LOUD, surprised ppl don’t remember the Pitt games or even nova in ‘05-06

@Storrs South Can we get that Raftery line in the highlight video?

It also helped that this game was at 8:00 pm and not 6:30 pm

 

[Get a Job]

As some of you may have noticed, I am a crowd snob with very high standards. Tonight's was spectacular and probably the best I've ever experienced at a UConn game. (I started attending in 2003.)

 

[InKembaITrust]

I've been to many a game at both venues. Was at the game tonight. This crowd might have been the best I've ever been a part of.

Insane.

 

[Giddyup5]

Yes agreed. Top 5 crowds ive been part of…I think. Sometimes hard to keep track.
