It will be like last year in Anaheim, we will have some MU fans there but the other team will get the support. Only this time it will be worse as Utah State fan will be there in droves along with their fellow conference fans from Boise. Definitely is going to be a road game against a quality team and a coach that is very very very good.
Yeah, this is now 3 out of the last 4 tournaments that Marquette has been sent to the West bracket (maybe even 4 of the last 6?). And, as others have noted, this will be essentially a home game for Utah State, the school closest to Boise of any of the teams playing there.
How big of a school is Utah State? If UWM were playing in Chicago, someone from the West coast might think that they would outdraw the team from across the country, but we know that wouldn't be the case.
Then again, maybe Utah State has 20,000 students who all actually care about their basketball team.

Seriously, Utah State travels well in their own conference and had quite a few fans up there in Boise when those two met. I do a lot of business in Boise and Salt Lake, we will be outnumbered SIGNIFICANTLY in the stands. It won't be close.
The school is not that big, probably 15,000 to 16,000. But the alums tend to be in Boise, Salt Lake City, Denver
...and there is NOTHING else to do in Idaho or Utah this time of year.
