Starting lineup introductions

I live in South Florida and went to one University of Miami basketball game. Actually their intro seems similar to what you describe as the Braves' current intro. They show some video highlights, the players are on the floor already, and then they announce the starting line-up. I hope our current one is better than what I saw at U of M as it did little to pump you up.
 
I've never been to an away college game, how do other teams do there home intros?

Nearly all are simple one-at-a-time player intros of the visiting team first, then the home team. Rarely, I have seen the intros alternate one visiting player, then one home player. A very small number of teams use spotlights (5-10%), and darkened stadiums (<5%), and even fewer use video intorductions.
 
I know I'm not with the majority here, but I was of the opinion last years introduction lasted way too long. This year so far I think the intros are more reasonable. It's not like we have been a basketball powerhouse for 20 years. The intros get the crowd in the game, but once the game starts the band, PA announcer and the goofy promotions do away with that. I've been going to BU games for over 50 years and the introductions don't win games, they don't have to be that extravagant. Sorry.

Your are so right about intro's winning BB games. They don't although I enjopyed them and they could still do one that is played just before the BB team comes back unto the floor. (It could be a lot better then they have had so far) If you want to bring anything back from last year to help the team stay fires up, bring back the standing until the first media time out and then after the last meida out of each half. We are back to taking naps and watching BB games w/ our hands under our ?????? to much. We have people that think i fyou clap a couple of times that they have made plenty of noise.
 
You know what I think about people sitting on their hands and taking naps. If they are up and cheering don't make them stop by goofy promotions and worthless PA announcements. Vroman, PLAY THE FIGHT SONG.
