Loudest game you've been to at the Chuck?

Not the most original topic, but it'd be interesting hear people's experiences.

This season when we tear down the nets. Mark it down.

Florida State

This is what came to mind.

Definitely not the loudest game, but I think during the Evansville FTs at the end of regulation last year it got pretty loud.

Are you just counting games after the Roundhouse was renamed for Mr. Koch and not before? If you are counting all games played at that facility there is only one answer: The Midwest Regional game aginst Iowa. Early in the second half the Shocks were down 15 points, and began to claw their way back. Randy Smithson put the Hawkeye away with two cluch free throws. I could not hear the fellow standing next to me. The national TV announcers couldn't be heard. The building was shaking. If ever there was game where the crowd would not let their team fade, this is was it.

Iowa was ear splitting for a very long time. After it was 40-25 Hawkeyes, anyone in the building suffered some permanent damage.

Likewise, FSU, with the different crowd, was LOUD and harsh. No wine and cheese group for sure.

I've mentioned many times before, but the SIU game sometime during Mark's tenure (maybe 2004?) was the loudest I remember. When Mark called timeout (at least his 2nd or 3rd of the 1st half) and started chewing those kids about 4 new ***holes......from then (about 43-11 SIU) until Matt Clark hit a 3 to close out the half and cut the lead to around 10, it hurt to be inside the Chuck. I'd give anything to have the radio (or video for that matter) archive of that game. I'll take the memory of Coach Turgeon's head bouncing back and forth, lecturing the team, while the crowd just kept getting louder and louder as Mark got madder and madder......it was a special moment.

It didn't get much quieter in the 2nd half as WSU ended up taking the lead. It got very quiet when SIU righted the ship and won late.

That Saluki team was one of the toughest groups I've ever seen, at any level. There weren't 3 teams in the country that could have withstood that run from WSU. They were true champions.

Hands down it was the Iowa Game. From start to finish a close second was the the Florida State game.

Both were almost as loud as the Billy Squier concert I attended in the early 80s. My ears were ringing for two days afterwards.

[HockeyShock]

Loudest I've personally been to was Florida State, no contest. To this day I don't understand why the people in the back row don't smack the SHEET METAL BACK WALL as a matter of course - it's a great noisemaker. We pounded on it during that game, and it made a real difference.

Northern Iowa, 3 years ago? Maybe? WSU lost on a last second, falling-backwards 3 from NIU.

Florida State...my ears are still ringing

I'm pretty much with Doc on this one.

I think the Iowa game was the loudest in the most important game and the crowd had the greatest impact on the outcome of the game although the extreme loudness was not sustained from beginning to end as it was in the Florida State game.

For sustained loudness from beginning to double-overtime end the Florida State game was unmatched for me. Easily the most exhausted I have ever been after watching a sporting event.

For shear loudness during at least a portion of the game the decibels reached during the comeback against SIU was crazy and perhaps the loudest I have ever heard. It was quiet while SIU was building the big lead and it quieted down quite a bit after SIU responded to the Shocks huge rally to rebuild their lead a little so the game as a whole doesn't compare to Iowa or Florida State.

If I have to choose I would say the Forida State game was #1.

The loudest game I remember is the one against the Russian National team. I believe it was X's junior year. The Russian team was ranked #1 with two 7 footers. X had (IMHO) his best game ever.
