Whelliston:

Missouri State: Creighton and Wichita can get plenty loud and crazy, but neither can match the throaty two-hour consistency of a crowd at the Hammons Student Center. Missouri State leads the Valley in many categories, including field-goal percentage, hypno-wheels behind the basket during opponents' free throws, and costume creativity -- the student section is full of more crazy characters than in all the stage shows in nearby Branson put together.

Whoo hoo! Some national pub, I think many people would be suprised for the atmosphere that has developed at Missouri State.

Did you check Doug Gottlieb's picks, one is SIU. :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis: :salukis:

Southern Illinois: While Carbondale is not the easiest town to get to (it is over two hours from St. Louis) and there is an early-'70s decor in the arena, make no mistake about it -- SIU's students are as loud as their team's defense is stingy. While calling a BracketBusters game that began at 11 p.m. two years ago, there was literally a party going under each basket in the student sections for the entire game. After turning down several invitations to join the party, I watched as the yelling, screaming, berating and cheering lasted from tip to finish. The best part of the Valley is the trash talk between the players and the Dawg Pound -- classic
