Maybe it's because cyclone alley swings their stupid little wave board 2 seconds after the ball leaves the shooters hand.
Time to implement the curtain if distraction?

It's crazy that a top arena has a team with two seasons like that.
It's pure luck. KenPom needs to factor that into his Luck statistic.
It does seem like teams go off for 80% and even 90% games on us with regularity. If a team only shoots 70% I feel like it's a huge break when it's actually pretty normal or even pretty good.
Band chants need work. They arent hilariously ironic anymore. Whatever happened to the classics like "the ball is a rubber chicken" or "the ball is bigger than the hoop"????
vs KSU "your Mom was a wildcat last night!"
one jack@$$ student screaming something weird like that >>> idiot band chants about greasy bowling balls
I've seen that particular one work, had KSU players laughing it up.
Atleast one band member has to frequent this forum. And to that band member I say, your chants suck.
Former band member- i agree. The chants had basically died while i was there (03-07) but it seems like they came back strong when the current band director, an alum from the 90s, came on board. Theyre turrible.
Also, we need to be searching the transfer or juco market for a better drummer, there is a constant issue there this season.
sometimes we do cheer AFTER the opposition misses the FT...on those rare occasions.
But seriously, I'm sure Hilton is louder during opposition FTs, than say the Tech arena is. Not sure how to explain this stat- not when it happens two years in a row.
Did you know that TV broadcasts can actually travel even more than 2 time zones? Fun fact.
I'd like to think that a drummer absolutely going off out of sync and the band playing really terribly out of tune would be a distraction. Just make as much noise as possible. Is that legal?
A. our free throw offense is also a concern
B. maybe we should try being really, really quiet during opponent free throws. it seems to work for our team.

Notice that we are 2nd in the nation in FTA/FGA. We allow an extremely low amount of FTs. I'd guess we don't foul bigs anywhere near as much as other teams, and our opponents play more guards to matchup to our lineups. That is my best explanation. Guards shooting leads to better percentages. Then add bigs shooting a little ahead of their normal averages and all of a sudden you're 351-351.
Hopefully we're due for some regression to the mean.
