Key No. 3: Crowd support

About 95% of attendants on Wednesday were cheering for Mass Street. That won’t be the case when alumni from two bitter rivals make their way onto the floor. The crowd should be split fifty-fifty or slightly in KU’s favor.

Fan support is what got the comeback started in the previous game. The Jayhawk faithful cheered on the team each minute of the way, prompting the guys to wake up and leading them to victory.

If Mass Street gets into a scoring drought or starts to struggle, the most important thing is for the fanbase to stay in it until the final buzzer sounds.
