Mid-Major Environments

[zebnatto]

Curious if people know of Mid- or Low-Major basketball programs that have outstanding home court basketball environments.

Wichita St, Dayton, and apparently Grand Canyon U has a crazy atmosphere. I go to USF (Dons not Bulls) games every now and then and they're fun - but nothing crazy.

 

[MCKnight]

Dayton, and Wright St for sure

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Witcha St always looks crazy whenever I see them on Tv

 

[fatsam98]

Think New Mexico's supposed to be good

I mean technically Gonzaga is a mid major right?

Good question. They are a bit of an outlier. Mid-major league but national name and profile now.

Creighton looks awesome.
Uconn at Gampel, if the weather is decent, the students are at school and the team is doing well.

 

[Rutgers25]

Utah State has a fun student section

 

[NightKnight]

Is Seton Hall a mid-major? I mean drop the name recognition and look at the current reality of Nova without Wright, Uconn, St. John's Georgetown DePaul, Marquette. All these teams have pasts that look a lot better than their futures.
The days of the Big East pissing in the big boy urinal are coming to an end. No Big East in the preseason Top 10. Only Creighton and Nova in the top 25.

St Bonnie in the A10, combined with Olean being in the middle of no where …is a good mid major home court

Go ahead, use Bruce Johnson’s famous line.

I bet Marshall gets pretty good fan support.

I know nothing about Northwestern State out of the Southland conference but I bet they will draw a crowd with the one arm sensation kid (Hansel Emmanuel) going there this season. Especially if he plays as a frosh. Great story for anyone not familiar. Very inspirational.

Gonzaga, Butler, Wichita St., Murray St., Saint Mary's, Chattanooga, San Francisco, BYU, Belmont,

That one I hadn’t heard before.

That one I hadn’t heard before.

It was originally said about Watertown NY by Harry Chapin, I think.

I was referring to the…

“Welcome everyone to tonight’s contest in Olean NY where it might not be the end of the world but you can see from here.”

I remembered that it was along those lines but I couldn't recall it. I miss Bruce.

“Left to right on your radio dial.”

“It’s up an in.” In the patterned fast/staccato delivery.

“It’s GOOD!”

"Bingo!"

I'd add Northern Iowa and Drake.

BYU is a mid major? They don't recruit or travel like one. Also, BYU NIL deals cover all athletes, even walk-ons and cheer squad.

I don't know of a mid major with that type of support.

The A10 conference playoffs at the Palestra in Philly were epic, ugly losses to St. Joe's notwithstanding.

Gonzaga is a big time program in a mid major conference.
