re: LSU basketball game atmosphere

I watch a lot of college hoops, and a lot of times, you rarely hear the band, only piped in music. That's what the players want. For the most part, that's what your students at the games want to hear. Too much band inside the PMAC, and more piped in music. Get the crowd involved. They did it a little at the Kentucky game, because it seemed like they pulled out all the stops for that one.

What you fail to note is the fact that UNC and Duke are historic powerhouses in basketball who win consistently. If you win, especially the games you are expected to do so, maybe more fans would be inclined to show up and cheer their hearts out.

For schools like Duke, basketball season is everything. It's their football season. Fans and boosters pull out all of the stops to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

However, I guarantee you that if given the choice, any fanbase would be more willing to have a football atmosphere comparable to the LSUs of the world rather than a basketball experience similar to Duke or UNC.

That's like Texas Tech fans lamenting about a sub-par gameday atmosphere for football.
