So moody is going to be insane. I like how we responded in an arena like Hilton but this is a much better team and a Crowd that will be ape shit.

Troy was talking about how the student section is right behind the bench and they harass you. That's tough.

I kinda wish we'd dedicate 3 rows behind the opposing teams bench to student section. Obviously would never happen since they are high dollar seats but it seems like it's a damn good distraction.

I am not expecting to win this game. But I'm hoping they shock us and do. But I really don't want to get blown out.

If it's a close game it's to our advantage because SMU usually just blows the doors off teams

It's criminal how close they allow the students to the players. I think it's a borderline unfair advantage. I can't think of another arena that has a set up like that. I know if UC had that set up when I was a student I probably would have been arrested bc something woulda had to give lol.

Look at the Washington player who slapped the student recently. It could easily happen at Moody. Letting a bunch of drunk, applied rich college kids that close to players is recipe for disaster. All it takes is one choice word or action to set something off. But, since we are one of their biggest opponents who play there it probably doesn't get the attention it deserves.

I don't have a problem with it at all. Smart move imo lol.
 
Cronin advocated for the new arena plans for students to wrap around the court, specifically behind the opposing bench. Cited Moody and the advantage it created. Heard it straight from his mouth at one of the town hall meetings a couple years ago.
