It was awesome...well, at least in the first half and early in the second when the fans were trying to help the team.
There were several roars in the first half, the fans were really into it and people were happy to be there for something that seemed to matter. The buzz before the game was great, too...spoke with so many fans who were just smiling ear to ear, so happy to feel like basketball mattered to them again.
It's not as if it stopped mattering, it's just that there hadn't been a payoff for so long.
It obviously wasn't a great game from Iowa's standpoint and I think the moment was too big for this team right now. I think they'll learn from it..and never having to face Jared Sullinger again in the regular season is a good thing, too. I was glad to be there.
