it was awesome seeing william's arena sold out(thanks to a solid 1k-2k badger fans who made trip) and maybe i'm biased but that place gets louder when opponent misses a shot than some middle of pack SEC school's gym gets after hitting a tying 3 with less than 2 mins to go..
To be honest with you, I get pissed all the time at the crowds at Rupp. It's like a fucking old folks home most of the time, that's what it seems like anyway. Or a library. It can get LOUD but it never lasts very long. Florida on the other hand ALWAYS shows up. LSU does as well. But like you said, SEC is a pretty sleepy conference overall. UK has some of the best, most knowledgeable fans I've ever come across... but there are TONS of fair weather fans too. They don't start watching until sometime around Christmas, don't hear a word from them until we lose, then they get on facebook and cry and complain like bitches. Like they know more about basketball than Cal. Idiots. They don't even get that the edge we have year after year when it comes to recruiting is Cal. They love the seeing the superstar freshmen roll in every year but then bitch about one and dones at the first bump in the road. I mean seriously, we are 17-3. Two of them were road games against huge rivals. The other was against a final four contender and one of the best players in the country. All three losses by 5 points or less.
I agree Maryland is a little over rated. Good luck. Kansas will be at Rupp on Saturday. Two great teams coming off losses.
