Love the way Lloyd schedules our OOC. We'll be playing at least 3 top ten teams.

We played Bama in Phoenix, "neutral site", that was completely taken over by Bama fans in 2023. 11 rank vs 3 rank. We won the game under Thomas Yoid.

Nate Oats defeated Sean Miller in the FBI Scandal Year back when he was at Buffalo. The year that created NIL for all intents and purposes. The year Book Richardson had to die for Bill Self's sins and Miller had to end up fired for the Ghouls to keep their jobs.

There is a storied history.

I was there - definitely wasn't taken over by Bama fans, more than half of the arena consisted of Arizona fans, plus quite a few neutrals. 

Awesome game though. Tommy got pissed at the crowd for not standing a few times, also cursed out the Italian assistant coach we had for a while. Emotional atmosphere and great game.

The legend, Rick Fois. BDU misses Coach Fois every day. Tom should have listened to him more.

Riccardo Foos? I mean Fois. I think the fact it wasn't 80/20 and Tommy having to get pissed at the crowd speaks louder volumes. It also speaks about the sentiments I hold about McKale to all of those who hoard the best seats, but aren't capable of keeping up the energy and always end up in a "what have you done for me lately" type of mood when things are not "showtime".

Pretentious fanbases around the country think they have a Home Court Advantage when it is really isn't that distinctive.

Yep.  Lute did also.  Miller - not so much
