Drew Neitzel sings praises of Assembly Hall

Started by PostmanR · 10 months ago

Over at Sports Illustrated today, Luke Winn threw down an interview he conducted with Michigan State’s Drew Neitzel. (I swear DN should have graduated two years ago. Seems like he’s been there forever.)

Within it, Neitzel talks about playing on the road in the Big Ten, namely at Assembly Hall:

It’s a tough conference to play on […] ... Continue reading »

    C'mon PR, you could have at least found a pic of Drew IN Assembly Hall. I'm kidding (kind of) but still a good read as it nice to know that others feel energy when they come into town.

    i've always hated neitzel. with a passion. but it's nice to see him give us some props. although i hate our rivals, the big 10 should stick together. we can hate each other, and respect the efforts of each other at the same time. with the exception of OSU. i will never give them any respect. sorry.

    Neitzel, to me, is one of those guys that you love if he's on your team, but you can't stand playing against him.

    I would rank Indiana's Assembly Hall above Illinois' Assembly Hall. I've witnessed many great games in the hall and the atmosphere doesn't get much more electric. Even in the balcony the roar of the crowd is deafening, but nothing compares to sitting close to the floor. I don't think there is any other arena in the country where 17,000 fans are more passionate about basketball. Maybe during Davis' final years Illinois had an edge on the Hoosiers, but there were still games where the crowd was so deafening you couldn't even yell at the person next to you. Take for example Ewing Jr. tipping in Bracey's missed free throw against Iowa to send the game to overtime, or Marco's dunk against Duke to put the Hoosiers up at the seven minute mark. Also, at least take into account Knight's time in Bloomington, and the turn around that Sampson gave to the Hoosier fans last season. This coming year will be one of the most electrifying seasons that Assembly Hall has seen in many years and will usher in the true return of Hoosier Hysteria.

    I was at the IU v Duke game and you literally had to yell in someones ear to talk to them. The buzz that exist when you walk in is amazing and I have NEVER heard a louder arena than when Marco dunked to put IU up.....see for yourself on You tube, it will give you goose bumps.
