Welcome to the Zoo
Throughout the year, I'd always been a bit disappointed at the student sections' inability to really get going and affect games. It's just frustrating that many students fail to realize that in college basketball, the fans probably have a bigger impact on the game than in any other sport. Saturday night was not one of those games where I walked away wishing the students did more.
This is from a Kellis Robinett article in the Idaho State Journal:
Late in the game, with Montana surging back against Idaho State, the crowd at Dahlberg Arena became a legitimate distraction to the Bengals. That might sound a little odd considering Idaho State spent much of its preseason playing at Illinois, Marquette, BYU and Oregon. But on one possession John Ofoegbu held onto the ball without worry while the shot clock expired.
“When they made their run, the crowd definitely got back into it,” Schroeder said. “The atmosphere definitely changed, and it was hard to communicate.”
It was good to see the Dahlberg crowd finish the men's season on a high note. Lets hope it not only carries over into the Lady Griz playoff run, but also into next season.
