No, it shouldn't. But that still doesn't mean that BC has anything close to resembling a home court advantage.

Again, I don't see how this is relevant to beating bad teams. It shouldn't take home court advantage to. The reason the players don't get up for bad teams is because they think they are so much better than them and that they can win based of pure talent- More often than not, they can, but not always.

Did you read my earlier post when I said that BC should be able to beat these teams in a locked-out Power Gymnasium?

Yes. I was answering your question, "Does BC play down to the level of competition because BC fans offer ZERO homecourt advantage?"
I gave the reason the team plays down to the level of competition. It has nothing to do with attendance.

We have no home court advantage but it has very little to do with why we play down to our opponents. As you'll notice teams like Duke with good coaches don't seem to have any problem with the inferior opponents.

I also notice that when Duke plays a shit ass team like Gardner Webb during finals, the stadium is packed, fans are loud and even with a 40 point lead, nobody's leaving early.

they have a program to be excited about. Our coach doesn't bring any excitement to the program, won't let them have a midnight madness, and approaches things as if he couldn't care less. Why? Because he doesn't care. He knows he has a job that is completely safe and he doesn't have to put forth any extra effort to keep it that way.

Couldn't you say the exact same thing about Spaziani?

This is great. The bbasketball teams sucks BECAUSE OF THE FANS!
FIRST POST OF THE FUCKING THREAD {l Wrote}:Who really knows? If Conte Forum was packed and loud, perhaps that swings the balance enough to the point where BC beats both Harvard and URI. Or maybe that even with a packed and loud arena, BC still loses.
Maybe if BC beats Harvard, there would be more students behind the basket than on the bench for the URI game. Honestly, BC should be able to beat Harvard and URI if the game is played in the Power Gym in front of zero fans and the way to generate more excitement among the fans is to win more games, but I can't help but feel that if BC was 9-0 going into the URI game and had won every game by 20+ points, Conte still would have been a morgue.

I don't think that attendance is the sole factor, but to pretend that it doesn't play a role is being naive. These aren't professional athletes. For an 18-19 year old, you don't think that there's a difference between playing in front of a sold out arena and playing in front of an arena that's 75% empty seats?

commavegarage {l Wrote}:And to answer your question (I didn't see it because OJ hijacked the thread)- yes, there is a difference. I do feel the team would play better. As I've said though, it shouldn't be necessary for the team to play well.

Not that everyone has this option, but all it takes is a quick check mark for the bill to go to mommy and daddy. Plenty of kids who could don't bother to take the time to check that box. And if they do check the box, they don't bother walking 200 yards to the games.

Newsflash pedro: For some, 50K a year is enough. Mommy and daddy don't like when you send them unnecessary fees. I don't know any kids who go to games and have their parents pay for them.
