I thought the same thing about the crowd. UC section not even full of Bearcat fans and the rest of the arena was sprinkled very sparse with red and black. Our fans will bitch and moan all the time about UC needs to do this or that, blah, blah, blah but too few actually put their money forward and support the team. UK fans bought that arena out. We can hate all we want they they have better fans than us IMO. Of course some are dumb. I've read some dumb stuff on here about how all their fans are toothless and on moonshine, so... We aren't big time because our fans don't make us big time. But, enough of the rant, I did my part and cheered them proudly in a sea of blue. When Ellis got the T on the other guy and was getting booed relentlessly after that I stood up as I was near that basket and yelled they hate you Ellis and pounded the Cincinnati on my chest and said we love the hate. The crowd was very homer but not many bad fans from what I saw. We had one in the row in front of us that thought he was cute by telling us we could beat the traffic if we left early. My friend lit into him about winning with class and they clearly got one of the greatest teams and we are just trying to root on our team and neither of them were playing so just root your team on and keep your mouth shut. No other UK fans chimed in or seemed to have a problem and he felt stupid, especially in front of his kid and never said another word. Fans behind us at end of game agreed with me when I said we wanted to give them a battle and we did and that their players needed better control since they let Ellis get into their head. They agreed to that.
