It’s two minutes before gametime, and this place is packed. The nearside bleachers are nearly full, and they’ve even opened up bleachers on the far side, where the two benches are located.
Coach Brian Meehan is more dressed up than usual, sporting a jacket and tie. Forward Steve DeLuca ‘08 is joking around on the bench, and as the Judges were announced, he was seen clapping loudly with the fans. The crowd is chanting “overrated” to the Amherst players as they warm up on the left side.
I spoke with Alan Karon, otherwise known as “Superfan Alan” just now. He says forward Terrell Hollins ‘10 is the key tonight, and he’s not concerned about the Judges 71-64 overtime loss to the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth Thursday.
He also said guard Joe Coppens ‘08 is struggling with a back injury, but he will start today.
The lineups are being announced, and the crowd is waving their towels. It’s gametime.
