TU, but your original point that fans leaving do not impact the game is debunked now. Yes, the fans weren't the only reason he missed but the influence fans have on games in undeniable. I've heard it directly from Gerald McCoy during the A&M basketball game, when the team was struggling late, Gerald told the student section to get loud cause believe it or not the players do feed off the fan's energy at times. Not saying fans always leave a mark on the game but to act like if all or a large portion of the fans walked out with the game still in question and there would be no impact on the game itself is off based. Why do you think it is always so difficult to win on the road?
I never said fans don't impact the game. I just don't think you can point to a missed FT and say the fans did that. Jerrels could shoot 10 FT's in that exact same situation, and he is probably going to make them at the same clip he shoots it on the year, or very close. What, on the misses the fans affected him, and on the makes they didn't? That is ridiculous. That isn't how fans affect games at this level. They create energy. They don't cause turnovers in hoops.
