Best fans in college basketball...Weakest student section

[allenj32]

It's no coincidence that we are the worst in country in free throw % allowed. Teams are shooting 77% against us, good for last in the nation. Our student section has no originality nor creativity with chants or tactics to antagonize the opposing free throw shooter.

Can someone please conduct an "all student section" meeting to brainstorm some better ideas than "the ball goes into hoop". Personalized chants are the way to get into their heads, for example, last game you could have chanted "O, Obese, Obe-sity" while Ridley was shooting. Or even better, when Perry Ellis came to town you could have chanted, "Rogaine for the shooter!".

Lastly, come up with some signs that will distract them while they shoot. "Mom, send money!" is a horrible sign and should be taken away by security. Get creative like you were for College Gameday and let's take back our home swagger at the free throw line.

Arizona State's "curtain of distraction" is brilliant. Wish we would have thought of that

 

[DesertClone1]

oh here we go...

 

[Rhoadhoused]

You have got to be kidding me if you think the student section actually effects FT%.

 

[Final42b]

Or just make the floor shake like Forte and Gessell's free throws

Arizona State is 224th in free throw defense if anyone was wondering.

Or.......................................the old people could actually do something throughout the game as well..................

That's not last place...

....is it?

In some way ideas like the OP feel when when people expect ISU to win in Jack Trice Stadium because bigger crowds are showing up for the games.

You're a Clay Aiken if you don't think the student section has any effect on opponents FT shooting. Loss.

In sometimes English is the difficult for to express ideas for teh message boards.

Then I guess I am a Clay Aiken.

Please explain this.

Or.......................................the old people could actually do something throughout the game as well..................

Old person logic:

1) ISU makes a momentum changing basket
2) Opposing coach calls timeout
3) Old people stand up, clap, and cheer during the timeout
4) Sit down and shut up as soon as opposing team gets the ball inbounds

CA needs to do something different. They always seem a second slow on reaction. Do the wavwe with the arms or something. Experiment. Bring a bag of tricks. Hand out a sheet what to do to everyone and list the playbook/

1st shooter. Stand up and wiggle or twerk.
2nd shooter. Yell "Yo Momma says hi."
3rd shooter. Wave side to side in unison.
Etc.

Hey, something needs to be planned to do better.

Unless the hoop is shaking, the student section really has no effect on FT shooting. FT shooting is just as much of a mental thing as being good.

When when you're right, you're right.

How about we create the mat of fat. Put a mat out in front of the student section and have fatties stand there jiggling their fat at the shooter during free-throws.
