The Crowd

[UConnSwag11]

Sounded great on tv for the first 8 minutes and then crickets. The team was in it until the end. It was a fun game, nothing like when the team got booed for 8 seconds.

Shocked at how it sounded the rest of the game. Not sure if it’s an older crowd or b2b titles spoiled the base, but unless the team is blowing out a team it’s quiet.

Leaving early was weak too

St Johns strangled the crowd. Turnovers, fouls. Missed shots. It got loud when McNeeley hit the 3 in the 2nd, but St. Johns responded immediately.

Very few left until it was 2 sec left.

Crowd tried to give the team energy. Team didn't
respond. Turnovers kept the fried from grinning into the second half. That was all people were talking about while walking out of if the game.

Crowd was great the first ten minutes. St John’s kept hitting shots and forcing us into Hail Marys at the end of the shot clock. Impossible to gain any steam.

If you didn't go to the game, then don't criticize the crowd.

Was at the game, crowd was great. Constant TOs and shot-clock violations kept the buzz-kill going.

My only gripe with the crowd was when people started leaving while we were only down 4 with time left. THAT was unreal.

Still haven't heard a good reason why Stewart didn't play in the 2nd.

I also love how fans get criticized for being quiet. You expect people to cheer and go nuts while UConn is committing turnovers on every possession?

I’ve been to MSG and Gampel this year. MSG was the better environment

After dropping this one, makes me wonder what kind of foothold UConn fans will have on Storrs South in the rematch. Between the combo of StJ going Gaga and the UConn fairweather types not showing, guess it’s gonna be very red.

Is there a fanbase out there that makes noise throughout a steady stream of turnovers where there defense is ripping out your offensive soul on top of letting a big early lead sliip away?
I doubt there is but if someone wants to show a video of it i will gladly stand corrected.
The leaving early thing? I have no problem calling that out esp. on a fri-sat night.
Although i will say the stories i hear of people spending over an hour in the gampel garage sound like the same stories of people leaving foxborough after a pats game.
