Don't ask Skianth.

Yup. He didn't see it, and even if he did he wouldn't have thought it was entertaining.

I told my wife... "someone needs a BigHead of Jaws."  With no tunnel behind the hoop at the FoxHole next year, I'm looking forward to the students' creativity. 


In all seriousness - small sample size alert -

Harvard is 77% FT on the season, 70% w/o Towns.  They went 52.9% last night. 
Bassey is 81.5% on the season.  He went 3-6 last night.
Djurcic and Haskett are a combined 61.7% on the season.  They went 0-4 last night.
Welsh and Johnson went 5-5.  Johnson is an 87.5% shooter and Welsh made 1 of 2 on the season going into last night.

Tongue in cheek perhaps, but FT defense might just be a real thing.

I always believed there was something to that, especially when you consider the crowd at the BC could never get in the eye of the shooter because of the tunnel.

The video I linked about ASU said that opponent's FT% dropped 16% on the student's end after they introduced the curtain.

Loved the LAX bros last night. The only one they didn't do is the "run for cover." TAMU students do it at the women's games. As the shooter starts their motion the students scream and run out of their seats. I actually have never seen an opponent make a shot after that.

Another one we used to do. The band would serenade free throw shooters at the women's games with the cheesiest love songs we could think of.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Thank you for sharing these.  I didn't have the right angle on Wednesday, but could see some of what was going on like the swimming.  We thought the other one was parting of the red sea.  Missed the roller coaster entirely.

I want the LAX bros to break out The GOLFER. They form a circle  around a guy in golf attire (knickers? Kangol style hat? sunglasses?)Before the Oregon player approaches the line, the "golfer" and his optional "caddy" hold up the putter to "plumb bob" and read the line, or they bend down to see how the green "breaks". The GOLFER then takes short arm-swing practice putting strokes while looking at the target. Just before the Oregon player starts his motion, a guy holes up a QUIET PLEASE sign and the LAX bros start "Shhhh(ushing)" the crowd. Then they scream and stomp while shouting, "NNOOOONAN"  and "MMMiss It!!" in reference to Caddyshack's Danny Noonan.
Zenyatta has a lot....a lot... of ground to make up. She gets there from here she’d be a super horse......what’s this.....Zenyatta hooked to the grandstand side....Zenyatta flying on the outside....this....is...un-belieeeeeevable!...looked impossible at the top of the stretch...

If the LAX bros can bring it on Sunday, and again on Tuesday (presuming ND gets Sanduskied tomorrow), Mikey J might be able to crack out the "best student section in the country" again next year and keep a straight face doing it.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

This is very similar to one of my favorite student section stunts.  Too bad we aren't the right color:

Have some patience, FFS.

Is that similar to the cone of uncertainty or the cone of silence?
