Has to be one of the greatest weeks of basketball.

Post by Aggiealum13 » March 2nd, 2019, 9:28 pm

That environment looked unreal from the TV set. Wish I was there. I was so down in the dumps about the program last year. I even wondered if the spectrum magic would ever return. Those doubts have fled.

Regardless, I'm sure he'll get at least second team all-conference while being just a junior!

The CBS Sports crew for the UNLV-BSU game says Sam moved into a favorite position tonight.

Having seen the spectrum during the Marcus saxson years (96-00 for me), it was way more magic tonight. My 11 year old couldn’t believe the atmosphere nor could I.

Sam deserves it but I can see him not getting it. Level of disrespect on weekly player of weeks and football players in postseason awards

I think it was louder Tuesday, but we had a lot more sustained runs of great plays where this was such a whistle fest.

Really? I thought it was louder tonight and I don't think it was even close. My ears never rang on Tuesday. They did tonight.

It sounded louder on tv tonight compared to Tuesday. And it looked like the good old days!

IMO tonight was louder overall, but there was one moment on Tuesday where the place exploded that for me marked the return of “Spectrum Magic”. It was the sequence with around 11 mins left in the half that culminated with the Dwayne Browns dunk and then the offensive foul by SDSU.

This. Overall, the crowd was louder last night from start to finish, but that Brown dunk took it to another level where your ears change tone due to the crazy loud sound.

Decibel levels vary drastically depending on where you are sitting in the Spectrum. The loudest thing I've ever heard in my life was when Chaz Spicer hit the three pointer to beat Utah. I've heard others say that the Stavon Williams sequence vs Nevada was louder. I was sitting in a different spot for that game and Spicer's shot was louder to me. It all depends on where you are at.

I'm just glad we are having this conversation and the magic is back.

Last night was way louder, but the flow wasn't there because of the horrendous officiating.

Tuesday had the brown dunk / charge moment that was off the charts.

Agreed, but hopefully 1st team considering he is the 2nd leading scorer in the conference and the Aggies are in 1st place.

Exactly. Just like David Woodward should have been first team.

We wanted SDSU players and fans who watched to understand that The Show has nothing on The Hurd. That was what they witnessed during that stretch Tuesday night.
