College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Auburn’s arena has hit 109 decibels today. It’s 1/3 the size of TBA.

And this is after they’ve lost 4 out of 5 games.

Auburn has by far the best basketball fanbase in the conference right now
The cavernous size of TBA and Rupp are to their detriments when it comes to noise. I was at the 2019 UT-UK game at Rupp when they ended our run at #1 and as loud as it was it was nothing like a midweek game of AU-UF I went to the same season. It’s not necessarily the fans but the design and the design was intentional.

Alabama really has no business winning this game considering how poorly they’ve played. But, it looks like they might escape yet again. Sign of a very good team sadly.
As bad as they’ve played? They shot damn near 60% from the field. Just poorly by their standards from 3. 23-28 from 2. We miss 5 bunnies a game they missed 5 shots total.
 
I feel like the Auburn fans on this board have a pretty good perspective on watching a frustrating team underachieve. 5 losses in the last 6 games.
 
Vandy about to hang a L on florida. Makes it less embarrassing that the game was close. Won't mention how we lost.

Vandy is a much better team with Robbins back, he's got 30 pts and 9 rebs at the moment, going against Castleton (who also has 25 and 11)
 
Vandy will end up in the top 75 and push our loss up to Q1. It sounds bad to say but that would actually be big for us.
 
I can assure you that Alabama winning this game does not help us in anyway. It doesn’t help us win the regular season. It doesn’t help our seeding. It doesn’t make our game on Wednesday any bigger or smaller. So, go Tigers. We need them to win.

Well in hindsight I’m glad Bama won because turns out it wouldn’t have mattered.

I had not seen that article. Good stuff. Dispels the notion that the fans are the number one reason for all the noise. Sounds like the architecture is the biggest determining factor in their volume.
