re: Did Bruce Pearl really just say Auburn has "the best homecourt atmosphere in the country"?

It’s a combination obviously. But I’m talking homecourt advantage. Ours is historically good, regardless of coach or team.


Exactly. I’m too lazy to look it up but I think something like margin of victory at home vs away in conference would be a good metric. BWA has got to be worth 10 points.

Hell some of those Anderson years we’d be damn near undefeated at home and lose almost every road game.

I have been to many stadiums for a game and never as wild as Cameron when Duke is playing. Their stadium only sits 9300 roughly but it is has to be one of the toughest places to play for an opposing team. The seat on right on top of the floor like a HS gym. The announcers are way up in the rafters. Their students wear stripes and when they start bouncing around it makes you dizzy trying to watch the game.

With how loud it gets in there and the fans right on top of the players it is pretty intimidating and hot as well. They only installed AC in the building 20 years ago. I remember going there before that a talk about hot in a small area.
