The magic is gone

Worst part of tonight was sitting there before game started there was zero energy in the building. Seemed like everyone knew the a** kicking was a formality. Never seen so many empty seats for a "sold out" game either. Tonight was the first time I've left a game early in as long as I can remember and it was at the 12 min mark of second half. The official NCAA March Madness Twitter account labeled it "Hilton Tragic".
It was obvious excitement would be at an all time low for a KU game but it was a decent crowd. Around the time it was 23-25, I think we missed a 3 that would have had the crowd rocking. The lob/dunks shut us down fast too.

They cut them so the crowd could have nothing to take their mind off the product on the court.
We were down 6 and came back, missed a three, and the rest was history. If you blinked you missed them scoring about 10 in a row in about 2 minutes. That was the game.
ISU needs to hire Fran Fraschilla as the next Cyclone HC, because He Believes!
Years past, the rafters would be vibrating when we play the #1 team in the country at home. I thought I heard someone in the upper section drop a pin somewhere...
Why would someone bring a pin to a basketball game? That's just silly.
I was at the game. All in all a great crowd for the results we've had this year.
I’m just looking forward to JP’s letter telling me I suck
I strongly disagree. The crowd was ready to explode tonight. Just give us a reason. Make a shot, get a loose ball, a rebound. Anything.
Its a bummer this year that there are so many games you just know the Cyclones have no chance of winning at Hilton.
I'd argue that the no chance games are done. We should have a shot in all the rest. Ranging from slim to ok
Crowd was ok. Lots of empty seats. Had not been to a Big 12 game at Hilton in about 15 years so I don't know what the crowds were like when Hoiberg was coaching but boy it's sure quiet compared to the Orr,Floyd,Eustachy era. Was in Des Moines this afternoon and decided to walk up and buy a ticket. Bought a 3rd row lower level for $20 and might have overpaid. Go to every football game I can but won't be in a hurry to get back to Hilton anytime soon. Not a good sign that the fans base is apathetic even when playing #1 team in country.
Even the best fans in the country will eventually lose interest when the coach is a clown.
