Used to be impossible for road teams to win here. Feels like crowd now longer a factor there
Assembly Hall

I don't go to a lot of games, but the crowd has been just fine at all of them I have attended over the past 7-8 years.
I would say that there is nothing quite like an IU b-ball crowd in the good old days, including before Assembly Hall was constructed.
I was with my dad at the Arkansas game. It didn't seem very loud like in the past. Granted the students were gone for Christmas break. However, there were quite a number of Arkansas fans there, and you could hear, "Go Hogs!" every time things were going their way. I think a lot of people are fed up with mediocrity. Why drive 1-3 hours to a game to watch the product that has been on the floor? Easier to turn the tv when things start going south.
Can you blame them? Look at the product on the court recently.
When the players look like they've given up, the crowd will follow.
Got to give them something to cheer about. The crowd is eventually becoming as disinterested as the majority of the players appear to be.
Who would enthusiastically cheer for players who aren’t enthusiastic?
Great body language by Smith going to the bench after blowing his assignment on that back door cut. CAM seems to be losing this team again, just like last year, and even around the same time!
Hard to get juiced watching this basketball..

I thought it was quiet during the N Alabama game my wife and I attended back in Nov. I thought perhaps it was because it was a Tuesday night, but it might be that the crowd just ain't diggin this brand of basketball.
Just a thought, but I wonder if the replacement of the audio and video displays above mid-court a year or two ago, especially with much larger video displays, somehow dulled the crowd noise.
