Muncie, Ind.- Tuesday night's Ball State men's basketball game was the first time in a long time that "The Nest" has filled up. As both the women's and men's basketball teams have gradually began to win at home, "The Nest" is filling up.
Students from various majors have a common goal, to fill "The Nest" and watch the Cardinals kick their opponents out of Worthen Arena. With big help from the Cardinal's Crew (also students), the student section is filling up.
Students become large noise makers, and get crazy at the basketball games. These reactions are both positive and negative. First I will discuss the negative. For instance, if little dynmo point guard Randy Davis get's hacked, as he drives to the basket, and there is no call, the students scream cuss words at the top of their lungs. If they are heard, or scream cuss words loud enough, this action could result in a technical being assessed to the Cardinals or removal from the game or both. I am a relatively calm person under pressure, but the students around me often cuss and scream throughout the game, which pisses me off.
The positives are it get's the rest of the student section into the game, if they are texting or what not. It also pumps up the players in some aspects. If they see the students are screaming "I'm blind, I'm deef, I wanna be a ref," then the motivation is there to regroup and rip their opponents apart.
