Not sure. But there will likely be around 12 thousand fans in the house helping defend it tonight.

Well then I hope the team comes out hot and takes them out of it early on. That's UConn's biggest weapon.

What's the drum?

Defend the drum was a rallying cry that they had years ago when both Texas and Purdue claimed to have the biggest bass drum in the World. After the Guinness Book of World Records did a measurement of both drums Purdue won out.

Texas and Purdue really arguing about who is number 2, who is 3.

The nickname of the Frank Erwin Center arena is "The Drum" because of its shape.

So then the battle cry for the UConn game is come out and do everything you can do to help us preserve our home undefeated streak?

I had not heard of this "Defend the Drum" until today. Guess it's all marketing. Arena seats are showing T-shirts on the chairs with that slogan for the fans.

So then the battle cry for the UConn game is ?

...to break the Drum?

Isn't it obvious ?
Beat the drum !

 

[eebmg]

Isn't it obvious ?
Beat the drum !

Or the variant "Beat TX like a drum".

 

[Rayvin56]

Hum drum.

 

[Charliebball]

so staying on topic, I guess it's OK if UConn beat Texas like a drum

 

[Bronxjeff]

Whew! I gotta admit, we played the drum and bounced around a lot tonight! Katie Lou spotted some extreme eye makeup there too! She is one tough customer.
