I have nothing left, lol. My wife cracked up when I got home and had no voice. What a friggin' game. It's so hard to compare games, but this might have been even louder than Purdue at the end during the 10-0 run - certainly might've been the best sustained crowd noise in years.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

First half sounded rather tame on TV. But I think it was how it was micd up

 

[Plum Street]

Great job for all of you that went . I was not there . Kudos guys

 

[shields]

Glad thought first half was tame.

I thought the first half was louder than most first halves.

 

[KnightTerrors]

The crowd noise causing the shot clock violation was unbelievable. They were absolutely lost and couldn’t hear the bench yelling to them from a few feet away.

It was one of the loudest I’ve ever heard the RAC and certainly one of the most impactful to the game.

Needless to say I have a cough drop in right now and tomorrow will be a rough one!

 

[MadRU]

And with many wearing masks.

This is great to hear . On tv it didn’t seem that loud and the announcers didn’t say anything about the noise

 

[ColonelRutgers]

The last minute of the game was the loudest I’ve ever heard the RAC I think. This is my 39th season. Wow, 39 years. I’m old.

 

[shields]

Great job fans. Only made one game this year and have been going for 40 years.

 

[littlenis5]

Yea I thought it felt pretty flat in the arena until the last 2 mins, which was Purdue levels. The shot clock violation play was the loudest of the night

All beaced can add is. WOW!!!!!

 

[MrsScrew]

It was deafening

 

[Scarlet1984]

At about 6:00 in a group chat my friend (who was having a pregame dinner in South Plainfield). encouraged me to grab a ticket.

I did. Best impulse buy I’ve made it a while. One ticket in 104. I was inside the arena with 15 minutes to spare.

I ended up sitting with another friend who sits in that section. What a game!

 

[RUDave_01]

I've been going to the RAC for nearly 25 years and the peak sustained volume is up there as the loudest that I can remember.

 

[RU-ROCS]

And with many wearing masks.

Exactly. It was unbelievably loud especially considering the muffled masses!

 

[SBP]

Glad thought first half was tame.

Not really… but not crazy like MSU

 

[beaced]

Yes you ARE Henry.

 

[DECKRU]

Insane, what an awesome night that was classic RAC!!

 

[Plum Street]

Insane, what an awesome night that was classic RAC!!

There is magic in rac

 

[Groz]

It was so loud, my ears still hurt.

What a win!!

Best of Luck,

This

 

[fatsam98]

Can't remember a louder few minutes. I don't think it always comes across that way on TV but in person it's insane

 

[DC8690]

Loudest game this year. Student section was awesome!

 

[Peteyd]

Wow. What a game. Lost my voice but worth it. I am surprised the announcers did not mention it. It was crazy loud… especially in the last 3 plus min. Crazy.

 

[bac2therac]

LOUDEST CROWD SINCE THE EARLY 90S for the last 3 minutes, may have eclipsed UNLV....glory year Wenzel crowd tonight

 

[RU848789]

So much goddamn fun tonight. While I obviously want to make the tourney again this year (and every year), even if we don't, seasons like this are a huge entertainment value to me. Light years better than anything we've had since Waters/Bannon, where we certainly had some great times, even if we couldn't get over the hump and into the tourney.

the student section was overflowing, have not seen it packed in like in over a decade

 

[ScarletKid2008]

First half sounded rather tame on TV. But I think it was how it was micd up

i noticed that too. It definitely didn’t sound like the typical RAC on the broadcast. Even the second half seemed like BTN had a little more crowd noise come through but not that whole effect of it which people who were there are describing

 

[S_Janowski]

Top 3 loudest I’ve heard the RAC, maybe the top.

 

[RUBlackout]

That was insane!!! I’ve seen a ton of amazing games and have to say that was the loudest and most fired up I have seen the RAC EVER
First half was great..second half major lulls…last 3mins…holy SHT!!!!

 

[FastMJ]

Im feeling proud. I bought a 4-pack this season. Three games in, I’ve been there for Purdue, the blowout of Nebraska, and tonight. For my finale I’ll be at the Illinois game next week yelling my ass off.

 

[cm_13]

This is great to hear . On tv it didn’t seem that loud and the announcers didn’t say anything about the noise

Crowd 1000% gets the assist on that shot clock violation.

 

[Unionst]

Been going to the RAC since it opened. The shot clock violation noise was as good as ever. Louder than Purdue for sure. Sustained volume over the last few minutes was incredible.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

LOUDEST CROWD SINCE THE EARLY 90S for the last 3 minutes, may have eclipsed UNLV....glory year Wenzel crowd tonight

Agreed ….It was right there with the December 1991 UNLV / SHU game…even with 500/700 less fans

it was true raw desperate emotion , backs against the wall all or nothing and the fans joined in the desperation in the last couple of minutes ….

And it was a well played game by both teams . Very few wide open shots

Keep the faith my bro

 

[ClassOf02]

Well yeah, but did the band play ‘The Bells Must Ring’ correctly?
