This column, from one of UW's student papers, The Daily Cardinal, is actually about a month old. But I found the link to it here and decided to pass it on.
This UW student was incredibly impressed by the Marquette student section at the Marquette/UW game. As he points out, Marquette has a general admission policy for all men's home basketball games, which creates an amazing atmosphere in the Bradley Center.
The BC can be kind of big and impersonal for events that don't fill the seats. The upstairs kind of feels like the boonies and you lack that "close" feeling that even the slightly smaller Kohl Center manages to carry off.
However, I've been to two Marquette games so far this season and I have to tell you that having the students fill one entire end of the court, from floor to ceiling, is a sight to see.
Marquette's not a huge school, and while I'll admit that Men's BBall is the only thing going on there during the cold Wisconsin winter, the point is that, generally, you don't go to the Jesuit schools for their athletic programs, you know?
Anyway, read the column, it'll take you two minutes. Find out why Marquette (and Tom Crean) are some of the classiest folks around.
