Rupp is trash

every possession in that second half was huge. from the time the score was in the 40's our biggest lead was 4 points and it was quickly erased. The amount of ties and lead changes was ridiculous. we were essentially trading baskets the whole rest of regulation. That was when we needed the crowd the most. once we had that four point lead the place should have been deafening to try and use the crowd to lure them into a turnover.
The product on the floor is trash, and as such the fans usually mirror how the team is playing. These type excuse/blame threads are among the worst on rafters.
The point is, college teams thrive on home crowds and expect them to create an atmosphere that intimidates the opponent and makes it hard on them to come in and play well. See every damn SEC road game when UK comes to town.
At UK, the home crowd sits and waits to be entertained. They'll act interested when they feel like it, and maybe 2-3 times per season, for a BIG NAME, ranked opponent, they'll create something that resembles a college basketball home court advantage. But that's the exception. And that's a problem.
Huge difference.
I love going to Hinkle Fieldhouse and Mackey Arena. They make Rupp Arena feel like a regular season NBA game when the 2 best players on both teams are resting for load management purposes.
If you can't see this, you're wearing blue-tinted glasses and can't be objective about the issue AT ALL.
It’s not your older brother’s Florida. My penis hasn’t gotten erect for UF since Billy D. left. Those fans have seen all the big games in Rupp. They’ve been there before. Florida is peanuts for them.
Ive been saying for many years that first 6-10 rows should be ALL students.
Rupp will never be like Duke or Kansas home crowds. As much as we all hate those 2 teams they have the best crowds that never let their team down when they need the crowd noise especially in the key end of games they are going wild and will do anything to help their teams pull out the win.
Rupp has been like this forever. You think the people that have been donors and are long time season ticket holders should be moved out? Matters not to me I don’t know any of them.
The crowd did not lose the game, the game was there to win and our $9,000,000 wonder shit the bed.
The crowd didn’t squander a game that we led by 4 with 20 seconds left. I wasn’t at the game but crowd looked good and in to it on TV.
You said college teams thrive on the crowd blah, blah, blah. I would accept that the crowd needs to cheer, BUT the players (and coaches, too) should take some responsibility also and put a decent product on the floor. Some look like they don't even want to be there!!!
GO BIG BLUE!!!💙💙💙
Internet forum slang meaning "end thread", or another way of saying "this is 100% correct, nothing else needs to be said".
It's kind of like the highest praise you can get on the internet lol.
I agree, build the entire Lower bowl to be surrounded by students too. We need an actual loud home court.
Well it is time to get the old folks out. If they don’t like it, tough. We need support, a golf clap every 15 minutes of game actions isn’t a home court advantage. No wonder so many guys light us up at home.
Wait until your hear how rocking Rupp is today!! Boy, I bet the loudest standing ovation of the evening miiiiiiiiiiiiiight last approximately 12.7 seconds.
But it has ice cream!!
But it has ice cream!!
You just don't get it.
Please go to one of the dozens of other gyms for a game. You'll walk out angry at the fan experience that Rupp provides. Guaranteed.
Fine, I do get it, but getting p’oed about Rupp does me as much good as getting my piss hot at Cal. I can’t do a thing about either.
Nobody is taking the seats away from donors that support the university. Students benefit year round from these donations. We get upset about the crowd a few times per year- however, that’s a very poor take to say get rid of the “old people”.
The people saying this are not writing the checks or going to the games.
It’s easy to make these statements when you are watching from home.
Everyone complaining in this thread should state how much they donate to the university and how many games they attend. I bet the vast majority would be $0 and 0 (unless they got a free ticket).
The people that complain about the crowd at Rupp (the blue hairs) bother me more than the crowd at Rupp.
This is a terrible take and reeks of ignorance. You clearly have never been to another college basketball game with this stupid take.
I was there and it was a much better rupp crowd than it usually is. Peopel in the lower levels were standing and getting into it. There’s a picture going around on social media of a bunch people sitting, and everybody is saying the crowd is terrible, and the game wasn’t even being played yet.
Yes. People don’t stand and yell before the game.
all people see are the "big" games at other schools
because just like the fans of those schools, no one is going to get excited about their team playing a nobody
there isn't a person here that sees Kansas play Yale on TV and thinks its must watch TV, or will report back how rocking the crowd was for that game

I mean, i get the sarcasm, and yes they do, but the people online were acting like it was in game when it wasn’t
