We're badly outnumbered

[Rico444]

Tons of Maryland fans...Don't see many husky fans. Gonna be a road game.

how is this even possible...

Ive seen the horde writing that in Twitter. I thought this was a neutral site game. Did Maryland have more tickets to offer?? Or are that many people at the football game tonight instead?

 

[ASweet3781]

Yeah the big screen is running University of Maryland commercials.

I had no idea this was a home game for them. It shouldn't be even if it's supposed to be. Weird.

Maryland signed a multi year deal with the Barclays center last year. This isn't a suprise, it's a known thing.

 

[Mots010]

Come on people. We all knew we would have a light turnout for this when the schedule came out.

 

[Fishy]

1) It's a Maryland home game, sort of.

2) We have a football game in Hartford tonight.

I go to just about every game in the NY area, but Brooklyn at 6 something on a Friday is just not practical for me. I'll be at the BC game and Rutgers.

We were outnumbered in last year's game against NC State also. We just don't travel very well. Haven't for a decade.

Must be a MD home game, they even have their own announcers. Elmore is a donkey

 

[CAHUSKY]

Doesn't sound like a partisan MD crowd on tv

 

[upstater]

Lots of red shirts, BUT hard to tell how many Husky fans there are. After all, Husky fans will wear white and blue and whatever. But I did hear it get loud on Brimah's blocks and dunks, so I'd say there has to be a good contingent of Husky fans there.

they don't have much to cheer for

 

[champs99and04]

Definitely a Maryland friendly environment but from my TV it sounds like our showing was respectable.

 

[Askgreek]

I am here and there are a lot of Maryland fans, but there are not stupid. They understand who they are playing and just trying to enjoy the game. They are inferior to us in talent, but will cheer much as they can. I would be surprised if we don't win by at least 15. Dooomed!

Obviously you weren't at the 2011 big east title game I think we traveled just fine

The game evened out a bit once everyone was seated. I'd say 45-55 not counting their band and cheerleaders.

 

[joober jones]

Isn't Calhoun from Brooklyn? I was expecting that alone would draw a lot more UConn people in. This is not to mention the great Tor Watts.

This game was treated as a Maryland home game by Barclay's Everything was all about Maryland. However, there was a good showing by the UConn crowd, I believe it was around 65-35 in Maryland favor, but the UConn fans were loud and proud. As Maryland came closer toward the end, the difference in the crowd was very apparent. So, as nerve racking as it was, UConn performed extremely well down the stretch in front of what became a hostile environment, and not to quibble, but the officiating was mostly home cookin' for Maryland.

75/25 Maryland. When Samuels and Boat were bricking their free throws it was LOUD.

definitely, the crowd noise for those free thows was what you would hear playing on true road court. I was surrounded by a sea of UM fans.

Agree that's about the ratio it felt like. Thought there would be more Husky fans there. MSG will hopefully be ours. We used to outnumber the Johnies so we should have a better crowd then.
