He said this in first 35 seconds Cal won't schedule us so we know what our joint brings. Finally Coach K and another Duke guy chime in.... Bias aside. When IU is good....I'll match our joint with anyone in the country. Some are on par but nobody is clearly better. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I'm going to pretend there's no tier one, and I'd move both those up and ISU down. Duke just gets the ESPN love. They aren't in a league of their own, and I'm interested to see where they are 5+ years from now because Duke's success is pretty much just coach K. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the hoo, hoo, hoo, Hoosiers chant really gets going, it's hair raising and, I'd have to imagine, pretty intimidating to the visiting team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just say that it doesn't even to need to be a cheer....when the Hoosiers are rolling it's as good as it gets. I was there for those Fab 5, Jimmy Jackson/Ohio St teams,etc....and besides the usual suspects (UK, Duke, Carolina) one of the loudest times I was there was when Self brought his top 10 Illini team into Assembly in 2002. One of the loudest nonrivalry, non national type program games I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny hasn’t been good for awhile. RAC has a solid atmosphere IMO. I think you're allowing Purdue getting upset there to cloud your idea of RAC. Minny hasn't been good... and the barn is still a tough place to play. imo I don't think of RU that way. Maybe the fact it seats less than Seymour and is named after a sub shop is my issue. Idk. 😂 Jersey Mike's is very average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaloisGroupe Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Coach Williams was not lying about the "other than Duke" crowds in the Dean Dome. I have been to games Assembly Hall against low Division I teams that were louder than any non-Duke crowds I have heard at the Dean Dome. Assembly Hall Rocks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 This article is about atmosphere so the size of the arena doesn't always effect it. Sometimes the larger the arena the more sterile the atmosphere is. I think the NBA stole arenas like at OSU and UW doesn't make for the best atmosphere out there.

Iowa basketball fans are quietly good fans, somewhat knowledgeable....but the arena doesn't get loud that often. I remember Tanya Alford a few times being a basketball fan and trying to get the crowd into things.....they just sat. She was almost like this is how you guys cheer for your team here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to an iowa v IU game almost every year. That place can be very loud. Not as loud as AH but pretty loud. Also ISU has a very Loud arena. They call it Hilton Magic because that place can really be hard for opposing teams to come in and win. Its it a top 6, i am not sure, but it is a really fun venue when they are rocking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 @The Daily Hoosier's Michigan State analysis... excellent read... From the article... "Malik Hall has the talent to make a Keegan Murray like jump" I agree he's got the talent, but he was wildly inconsistent last year. He had an All American type game against a Loyola Il tournament team going 9-9 from the field and scoring 24 points but followed that up with a 2 point stinker against UConn. After starting the conference season scoring 12 ppg and 48% from 3, including an 18 point effort against us (where he ran his mouth a lot) in his last 12 conference games, he averaged 6 ppg and shot 20% from 3. He and AJ Hoggard have to play much better this year for MSU to be in the top half of the conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
