Going into this game, we were in the Next Four Out, with probably a 20% chance of making the tourney.

And we had what, 26-27k (Edit: 28,670) in the Dome today? And they looked extremely loud and into the game from start to finish. That is an incredible turnout for our most perilous season finale in years.

Our fans are awesome. Honestly, how many other fanbases care as much as ours do? Kentucky? Kansas? Is that basically it?

Shhhh...optimists w/ a refreshing perspective are frowned upon by some. You’re ruining it!
 
WE’RE THE BEST. AROOOOOUUUND

It was a great atmosphere! I almost always say that. The game was so tense, and we have lost so many close ones. It felt to me like we don’t know how to win close ones any more. But we did today! We roared and clapped and a few times my ears rang.

And the crowd was very appreciative of Moten. Very.

It is always sad when it’s the last Dome game but it would have been sadder if we had lost. Did you see how Clemson’s ball almost went in at the end? Did you?????? The gasp from the crowd told the story. No Louisville/Virginia for us!

Best fans in the country. I’m hopeful we’ll win a few ACC tourney games and make the NCAAs. And next year we will be much improved and back being a fixture in the top 25.
 
Saw who I believe were a large crowd of football recruits, parents etc at the dome. They left with a little over 3 minutes left in the game. Too bad they missed such a great finish.
 
Yeah I would say Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and probably Louisville are the only other fan bases that can do what we do on a regular base season with the amount of fans that go to games.
 
Everybody was drinking more than usual I think that led to the loud crowd it was incredible

Let’s keep up that sort of consumption in Brooklyn — it’s for the good of the program.

all 3 student sections were full too.
 
Clemson probably brought 20k of those fans. You're welcome Eric15.
 
The students may fill their sections but they certainly don't make much noise. Not trying to hate on them. Just making an observation from across the aisle in 104.
 
Our fans are the best. Have said it many times.

Not just home games. We travel the basketball equivalent of an SEC football team.

Love, love, love our fans.
It would be super cool if we could start winning there but it's fun to see the Georgia Tech fans dumbfounded by half of their arena taken over every time we play there. I don't know that there's an arena in the country that gets taken over to the extent of what Syracuse fans do in Atlanta.

Well, we don’t play at the RAC anymore, but when we did... ;)
 
I just watched the game again and we were even louder and wilder than I remember. I had forgotten - how could I? - Chukwu’s two blocks in 6 seconds. When that happened, we shrieked for a solid minute. I really liked how this enthusiasm came across on the broadcast. That doesn’t always happen. Hardly anyone left, and I can’t imagine why the football recruits would do so. What th’??

Maybe they had leaves to rake?
Snow to shovel?
Wanted to beat traffic? :p

I’m pretty sure they were escorted out early.
Still don’t know why they’d do that, other than maybe it’s just easier logistically to move them when there aren’t another 28k people also trying to leave at the same time?
 
Student section has no good cheers. Never have. I was a student there so I know. Need more that " Lets GO Orange"
