Something Matt Warner brought up in a recent podcast is that Spring break at KSU starts after classes Friday. Highly unlikely they will have enough students on hand Sunday to duplicate the atmosphere they had a couple of weeks ago. I also noticed that in that game the growly voiced PA guy was basically a cheerleader/hype man throughout the game. I'm not sure, but I suspect the ASUN will make them tone that down in a tournament final on national television.

Is this the guy who sounded like a pirate?

I thought he was referencing the PA guy and not the broadcast crew.

Just keep in mind that a huge portion of the KSU student body lives in Metro Atlanta. Spring break or not they should have a good crowd. It would be awesome if we had a strong contingent of Atlanta area LU supporters on hand. I know that we have abundance of alumni in the area. Shout out to Scar!

Correct. He was using the arena PA system to hype up the crowd, and a few times actually lead cheers. I don't know what the ASUN's policy is, but I remember when we hosted the BSC tournament, they made it clear that tournament games were a conference function, and kept a tight rein on how things were done.

Also correct on the demographic of the KSU student body. How much of an impact Spring break has would depend on how many of them take off for Florida or Cancun as opposed to staying in the area.

From my end of the TV, it sounded like the Kenny State PA guy was doing a good job. Personally, I think we could afford to change things up some to hype up the crowd. I think the Athletics Department could learn a thing or 2 from the Hockey team game day crew on how to keep the crowd engaged. The only think the Hockey teams need is better/more speakers as the roof is too low so the spoken word is muffled much of the time.
