The crowd was dead because the game was horrible, and because it was the Christmas game, which always is a dead crowd. People complain about it every year.
Booing the free throws, I have no problem with it. It's a free throw, for crying out loud. Every fan that was on the court swished their free throw during time outs.
The big men played better tonight, but on the whole we should feel very lucky that SIUE was the team we played, given that performance. I hate to think what the outcome will be if we play like that against SIU.
