Can vouch for this. Absolutely electric crowd and atmosphere. You could actually see fear in the eyes of the Okie State players. If there was ever a game where the crowd willed the team to a win, that was it. You honestly can't quite describe it and do it justice.
It was insane for that game.For those saying this was the best atmosphere. So many other games beat it but this one was good. Here is the best one I remember
COLLEGE BASKETBALL NATIONAL ROUNDUP : Iowa State Comes Back for Upset of No. 2 Oklahoma State
Johnny Orr has been on the winning end of some big comebacks during his 42 years coaching basketball, but Orr said none compare to the one his Iowa State team staged Saturday against No. 2 Oklahoma State.www.latimes.com
I remember the floor shaking and little kids with their hands over their ears. I was at the game and my friend said the announcers were saying "We can't hear each other so if we start talking over each other it's because we can't hear anything".
The other one I remember being out of control was the Texas player missing two free throws when he was like a 90 percent free throw shooter. That game was super loud.
Exactly it was really weird for a D1 guard. It looked like an awkward middle schooler trying to dribble for the first time.
The game that always seemed loud to me was the "Johnny Orr Returns" Michigan game. Does that compare to these other games?
I think that was Okie State. They missed 2 (Forte?), Naz hits the buzzer beater to go to OT.
I think he's talking about Brian Boddicker from the Wayne Morgan era.
If you leave and your ears are ringing.........it was a good one.
This is correct. Boddicker was a fantastic free throw shooter. The place went nuts. Hilton also forced Forte to miss free throws also. Was it Mike Gessell was another one that choked on two free throws against us in Hilton
The swearing really didn't come through the TV broadcast at all. Last year I remember being slightly embarrassed at the FU*K Bohannon chant, because that was very clearly coming through the TV speakers.
Rather than read thru the other 50 pages... I was at the game, but couldn't make out the chant that sounded like "Eff eye you" - what was the "eye you" ? Neither I nor the gf could catch it...
Yeah, I was lucky enough to go that game and it almost felt like everything was shaking from the noise.
Just watched the postgame with Gabe and Jared. Both are impressive young men. Especially loved the comments from JH about how much he loves representing Iowa State.
Crowd looked and sounded great on TV. Wish i could've been there. Hilton is back. It has been a few years since I felt like we would confidently handle any team at home.
Is your goat named Colby? I didn't catch who sent in the pic, but I heard your wife sent a goat pic in for the Cyclone pets feature on the big screen.
That is the one that came to mind from a TV viewing perspective. That was such a big game for so many reasons (especially Johnny returning) and Hilton looked fantastic. Very similar vibe last night.
Wasn't there tonight but have been to all since Trickey days. Nothing compares to the OSU game.For those saying this was the best atmosphere. So many other games beat it but this one was good. Here is the best one I remember

Agreed. Darwin Alexander at the freethrow line down one... 90+ percent freethrow shooter... misses both.
Epic game. Down 18 at half and win. Crazy.
