SIU fan in the front row was acting crazy. Flips of the band, whatever . Then he goes on to flip off the kids that were in the front row and proceeded to make a jerking motion with his hand to the kids. He was escorted out. Just pure nasty behavior by the Siu fan, it’s one thing talking to the band another is to make a jerking motion to little kids.

Just pure nasty behavior by the Siu fan, it’s one thing talking to the band another is to make a jerking motion to little kids. Was this from the same group down in the left corner (on camera) near the band? The ones that were doing push ups and acting like fools? It just irritates me that front row seats are sold to opposing fans. I mean I get it…make the money…but come on. Just reserve the stupid things for UIC fans only, otherwise you get this nonsense and it’s on tv and it’s incredibly disrespectful. Good crowd today, lots of SIU fans, but also lots of UIC fans. At the end of the day, you have to field a good enough team that you’re winning home games and not allowing opponents to get momentum and their fans into it. If you’re good, you not hear peep from opposing fans. The sooner we move on from Yak the better. We’re allergic to winning. When we were up 7 with just a few minutes left, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind we’d blow it…particularly when Xavier Johnson can go to the line every time he touches the ball. With that type of treatment for a 90% FT shooter, it’s a surprise he’s not averaging 50 a game. Just drive it every time.

I am pretty sure I’ll be at the Feb 18th game with my son. He’s super interested in basketball (6 years old). I think I might splurge on courtside seats to give him a thrill. So no worries on any Belmont fans taking over close!

Ok now that I have a day to take in the game and experience here are my thoughts.
Coach Yak- I want so bad for this guy to be our coach going forward but he is his own worst enemy. Amazing that he actually did some of the things I've been b!tching about all year. Kennedy was a main cog in Loyolas final 4 team. Why would you not give him an integral role on this team? Any idiot can see Jones isn't a true Pg? What are you afraid of? You have a superstar PG coming next year from Curie anyway? I sat next to a SIU fan and told him the whole Fens saga and he couldn't believe it. He's like that dudes huge at the worst he is a body that could set picks and grab boards. Exactly!! Yak looks like a moron for not using him. Want to bet he transfers now because he wants to play? I would love to see his plus/minus yesterday Uic did great when he was on the floor. As for the crowd and atmosphere that is how I kind of envisioned it when we joined the valley. Yeah it was 65-70% SIU but it was rocking. We actually had a legit band and they were into it. I can honestly say there were less then 300 students maybe 100 total? There has to be a way to get more. They have 50% more students than when I was there in the 90s. Also what's with the darkness at the one side of the court and the light switching? I swear they were switching lighting in the middle of the game? Also why no student section behind that side of the court? Any diehards will remember we used to have metal bleachers setup on that side. Oh well on to the next game.

Oh man. The student section used to be on the Northside of the court? Where the curtain used to be?
I’m glad there’s no more curtain. I like the openness better.
The corner spot for the student section - not a fan. But no reason to change if no student fans come anyways. I remember mostly the student section being behind the other basket - where the band is. Some good memories of sitting there - Elton Nesbitt of Georgia Southern comes to mind!
Ah, reminiscing.
