And if you really want to watch a game with the LOUDEST crowd, played at 9 PM EST Saturday...tune in to the New Mexico St-Utah St game on ESPN Full Court. Cameron will be loud on Saturday...but the Spectrum in Logan, Utah will be absolutely ROCKING! The Spectrum holds more people than Cameron and, more importantly, Cameron seats 1,500 students while the Spectrum seats over 6,000 in their student section. They take up half the arena...and they're truly crazy, with all of their rituals, chants, and everything else they do at every game. There is a reason Utah State does not lose at home. And it's not just because they have the cutest cheerleader in college basketball...
This is the loudest crowd in all of college basketball (even louder than New Mexico), it's senior night (the Lobos have only one senior but he's a good one...point guard Jared Quayle), and they've just clinched the number one seed in the WAC tournament. A win Saturday night and a trip to the WAC finals should be enough for Utah State to go dancing. At that point, even with a loss in the conference tournament finals, they would be 30-7. A conference tournament win should give them a good seed. Bring on the big boys!
