Nothing will ever compare to the basketball games during the 80's in terms of the games themselves - with great teams and players and younger season ticket holders leading to an amazing atmosphere in the Dome. The Duke game is certainly up there in terms of hype and demand for tickets. But similar to the Georgetown game last year, there may be thousands there just for the "event" who do not have a strong rooting interest and spend a good deal of time looking at their phone etc rather than paying attention to the game. Those types of things did not happen in the 80's and I have not heard a Dome crowd to match those since then. At least not on a consistent basis - sure it can get loud during certain parts of the game but the sustained buzz and loudness during games does not match those days. I'd love to be proven wrong Saturday.

I think the title of this thread should be most hyped game or something like that. As it is not near the top of biggest sporting events in Dome history in terms of the game itself and it's impact on our season. Numerous other games have meant more and looking at the football side of the equation, this game pales in comparison to the SU/WVU game back in 1987.
