[QUOTE="dmb24illini, post: 1995675, member: 750498"] Look....I know the Krush isn't missing layups, not grabbing rebounds or playing swiss cheese defense on the court. But I was going to come here to post the exact same thing. It is infuriating to me, both watching games at home and (today) in person, how [B][I]quiet[/I][/B] the Krush are most of the time. We were up 20-11 and I looked at the Krush and basically 90% of them were standing still with their arms crossed not making an ounce of noise. At that point, early in the game with a nice lead, the SFC should've been going bonkers with the Krush leading the way. Step on Maryland's throats and don't even give them a chance to get back into the game. Look at how the Paint Crew does it at Mackey....they put their foot on the gas and scream and give themselves a TRUE home court advantage the whole game. I'd have to go look at old games on YouTube from when I was in Krush in 03-05, but I remember basically having no voice at the end of games. :mad::cautious: Instead, the SFC crowd now gets loudest during McNuggets free throws. There were no inspired, fun, distractions from the Krush during free throws like there used to be. Some weird curtain thing that wasn't even behind the hoop that I'm sure the players can barely see. You could give the Krush all 15,500 seats and it wouldn't matter if they just stand there with their arms crossed in silence. [/QUOTE]
