I think they do this year, and it’s not particularly close.
Their star player just said BWA was the loudest place he’s ever played. I’m not advocating BWA as the best but there are plenty of places that are close or better.

For one game, against the #1 ranked team in the country - I have no doubt. Season long home court advantage? Auburn by a mile.
Auburn fans are only interested in their non-football programs when those programs are winning, but that’s what the basketball team is doing this year - and their fans jam themselves into a well designed sardine can that produces consistent noise.

I’ll agree with you, Walton Arena is an impressive place. You rightfully should to be proud of it.

I agree. BWA is super loud, but it only gets that way about once a decade, so there's not a lot of consistency to be the best atmosphere in the country.

Loud doesn't mean intimidating. It is all about the closeness of the fans to the action. That is by design of an arena.

Even if true and based on what Auburn Arena brings right now, are you expecting Bruce Pearl to say instead,
I wish we had the best Home Court in the country, but there are other places better?
Come on man
