The Greatest Place To Watch A Basketball Game

I'll preface my remarks by saying that if you're up 6 with 3 minutes to go, you should win, no excuses. Today confirmed to me why Allen Fieldhouse is the best place in the world to watch a basketball game. No one will ever convince me otherwise. TV doesn't begin to capture the noise inside the building. The home team was beat today. Down 6, 3 minutes to go. Most fan bases at that point are sitting on their hands, mouths are taped shut. Not Kansas. Their fans turned it up about 6 notches. The last 3 minutes were deafening. Unless you've been in that building, you cannot fathom the noise inside. I will hearing ringing in my head for at least the next 3 days. The noise doesn't so much charge up the home team as it wilts the visiting team. Still, up 6 with 3 minutes to go, you should win. I congratulate KU on the win today. Give the crowd an assist on this one.
