Here, here!

Hats off to all the Michigan fans in attendance. Greatest fan base in the world (most of the time) Go blue!!!

Surely it wasn't as loud as New York, was it? It makes you wonder if there is another institution with such a presence. During the post game interview Mo commented on the crowd; he was genuinely surprised Michigan was so popular from coast to coast.

Rich bastards on this blog who was in NYC and LA for the game please compare and comment on the noise kthxbye
I was there today (live in LA) and was at the Nebraska/MSU games at MSG (visiting friends in NYC).
I'd say it was close in terms of pure UM fan volume, maybe a slight edge tonight, but much more of an advantage because in New York MSU also had a solid contingent so it felt neutral but this truly felt like a home game. MSG was louder overall for the MSU game, but that was due to lots of Sparty noise. Michigan fans alone were probably louder today.
I think the game most apt to compare would be the Purdue BTT game, but I can't speak to that one, had to leave Sunday afternoon.
Anyways, I'd give LA a very slight edge (West Coast, Best Coast), but both were incredible. We are a part of the most universal alumni base/fanbase in the US!
Can I borrow some money?

Mike Valenti always spouts off that Michigan basketball has no fanbase. Hey Mikie...we took over Madison Square Garden and we're taking over the Staples Center. Sparty couldn't accomplish that in a wet dream.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:42 PM ^
Indeed! Crowd was awesome!
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
We will bring it again Saturday.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
Michigan faithful, and there are thousands of them, having fun @aggiembk expense. 33-12 Wolverines

Brought a non-sports fan date to the game. Before we got out of the Uber at Staples I said, "prepare yourself for a fuck ton of Michigan fans". She asked, "a fuck ton?". I replied, "yep".
We walked into yard house for a beer about 90 minutes before the game. She looked at me and said, " there are a FUCK TON of Michigan fans here".
It was fantastic. Madison Square Garden West.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
I use that phrase all the time and everyone in Florida looks at me like, “what?” Great Michigan phrase
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:51 PM ^
It’s classy to use on dates. Keep up the good work, gentlemen
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
Wait, people don’t use fuck ton everywhere else? I must not get out much or something.
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:03 PM ^
I'm as shocked as you are. Didn't know that was a Michigan thing.
then I should be able to use it at work tomorrow when I complain to my boss about "the fuck ton of work I have to do on a March Madness Friday".
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:52 PM ^
I really like her.
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:56 PM ^
UNCWolverine...as a guy dating a Tar Heel I am happy that maychup was avoided. Agreed?
I am married to one.
Go SLIPPERY ROCK!
March 23rd, 2018 at 12:43 AM ^
Madison Square Garden is Staples Center East
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
Best university in the world! So says Beilein. Go Blue!
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
Yeah, that sounded like a home game again. Outstanding support so far from Ann Arbor!
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
Attorney General Gustavo de Greiff from Narcos in the maize sweatshirt? Michigan’s fanbase is worldwide indeed!
Writing a prescription? I need to know.
that's Brian.
Hey, it was a long football season that took it's toll on him.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:48 PM ^
Michigan Fans in CA, NV, WA and AZ..get your butts to LA and make it a home crowd advantage..WE NEED YOU and we need you LOUD!!! It was VERY noticceable how many Michigan fans were there..Great Job!
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:51 PM ^
I think they got the message already, based on tonight.
What about Oregon? If Washington is included, those Portlandian Wolverines better make it down!
So proud of the West Coast Wolverine contingent!
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:49 PM ^
You all were very loud and it was apparent from the beginning that UM fans brochures their A game!
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:49 PM ^
Well done Michigan people!
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:50 PM ^
Clear home court advantage. First East Coast / NYC, now West / LA. Go Blue.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:52 PM ^
In my bonus room upstairs. Does that count?
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:58 PM ^
I couldn’t hear you, you’re going to have to pick it up a notch on Saturday.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:58 PM ^
...it counts as far as I’m concerned.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:58 PM ^
We’ll count it
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:53 PM ^
wanted to make it out to Staples for the game! alas, having a job and needing to show up. go blue! sounded great out there.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
Man, That was FUN.
Well played, well coached. We really lit it up.
Go Blue.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
I chipped in as best I could. It was loud and if I had to guess I’d say the crowd was at least 75% UM, possibly more. I’ll be there again on Saturday rooting for M. Full disclosure: I’m an IU b-ball fan (Alum, grew up in Indy) but since Michigan is in the B10 and I’m a huge Wolverine football fan (season tix since ‘92) I’d like to see them win it all this year. I was telling everyone I know before the tourney started I thought Michigan was going to win it, after seeing them in person I’m even more confident.
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
Watched the beatdown live! Woo-hoo! This place was rockin!
March 22nd, 2018 at 10:59 PM ^
A&M fans didn't seem too fond of my "S-E-C" chant as the game wound down. On to the Elite 8, Go Blue!!
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
Going to the game on Saturday!!!
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:10 PM ^
Great job M fans!!! Stay loud on Saturday!! I LOVE L.A!! WE LOVE IT!!
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
I know they shouldn't have international tournament sites, but feel free to move the Final Four to London.
March 22nd, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
Saturday should be same
