Instead...MISCOUNT out loud when the other team does.
Please DON’T stop counting down the clock. I always liked to think that I was helping the team. Who cares about these one or two dudes. There should be no reason we don’t get a shot off at home due to shot clock violation.
Yep, I noticed that on TVThey do. They count correctly for us, and incorrectly for the opponent.

Rather have a lousy shot than no shot. I think the countdown has saved us some shot clock violations over the course of a few games.Our shot selection tends to be very poor when this is done. If this was a senior dominated team maybe I could agree with this but it’s ****ing stupid otherwise.
I hate the clap before foul shots. Why that ever became a stupid thing?
Both groups showed up tonight while the 100s were glued to their seats in an amazing game. RAC has a loooooong way to go to get back to its old self.
Now this does not seem like a good idea.I hate the clap before foul shots. Why that ever became a stupid thing?
You do realize that other programs in our league and in other leagues do this right?...PLEASE Stop counting down the shot clock when we have the ball. Thanks!

Whether you count correctly or incorrectly for the opponent you are telling them that the time in running out. Keep quiet and let them get a shot clock violation.They do. They count correctly for us, and incorrectly for the opponent.

I wouldn't over think it. If anything it makes a player look up at the shot clock. I do a lot of post game interviews and I've never had a player tell me "Man I wish they wouldn't count down the last few seconds of the shot clock."I don't have an issue with it. Are we taking bad shots with time left on the clock because the band and students are doing this? I'm sure if Pike and the staff don't like it, they could pass the word to the band director and get it changed.

the RAC has been absolutely useless the past couple of seasons - minus a moment or two.
the RAC has been absolutely useless the past couple of seasons - minus a moment or two. A student section that is sitting the whole game? They don't make noise unless we go on a run.. its crazy. The fans who went to the seton hall game away, useless.
Need way way more from the students and the fanbase in general. Hate to say it, but the RAC is nowhere near where it should be

Well, that could also be because the average age of the crowd looks to be around 60, at least from TV shots.? Of course these are our core most supportive fans but we definitely need a younger crowd to fill the open seats if we want a loud and intimidating arena.Both groups showed up tonight while the 100s were glued to their seats in an amazing game.

Completely disagree. There’s been more than a moment or two. Even with 5-6K fans the RAC comes alive. I was at both SHU last year and Ohio State this year and the building was loud and played a factor in the W’s. Nebraska looked pretty good last night.
It’s gonna take another year or two to get the RAC where it needs to be on a consistent basis but for how bad we’ve been the past 25 years we have some passionate fans who show up for big games.

Can they move the student bleachers forward please?
I think we have lowered the bar. For those who experience games during Waters and Bannon and Wenzel, the crowd is meek compared to now. There is nice roars at times but nothing out of the ordinary and consistent and the student section is okay but really its just a few rows of hardcores for the most part.....during Rice the team wasnt winning either but we had a better and louder student section then.
Look the biggest part of the equation is losing, students showed up in numbers at times and then the team loses and that hurts future attendance
I truly hope that the Michigan game is being hyped right now and there is a concerted effort to get as many as students in the building as possible...like putting them in the 300 level like we used to.
no ncaa since 1991 means the youngest season ticket holders are basically my age....late 40s and those fans from the 76 final 4 are now in their mid 60s. There were some memorable moments under Bannon and Waters but not enough to carry those students over as fans after they graduated given 12 straight losing seasons now. We have lost an entire generation of potential fans.
“We will never have a massive student section since 1/4-1/3 of t is taken up for the band” .. you realize that the band is also students, just they’re allowed to bring in instruments. And they are some of the most passionate student fans overall, both men’s, and womens (when 0 other students show up).You do realize over break that whatever is in that section are of the majority not students. I agree we need more standing up during the game as 10 years ago when I was in there it was jammed tight & there was no room to sit even with the level of play we had. Only during breaks. But winning will change that. The students have been good overall & there are that loyal group who are there night in & night out. We will never have a massive student section since a 1/4-1/3 of it is taken up for the band but when it is full they more than hold their own. Also thought the lower section which I sat in last night for a change was way more engage than past games. Several times with under 5 to go they were on their feet which is better than the past.
