Allen Fieldhouse
McKinnon Walsh, freshman from Shawnee:
What is your favorite memory of Allen Fieldhouse?
"I'd say my best memory of Allen Fieldhouse was this year during the Florida game when we were down 18. Me and my friends body painted and we were super excited for the game. We were really disappointed at halftime, but then the Jayhawks came back and they were able to pull it out. The entire stadium was electric. It was awesome."
What makes a basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse different from anywhere else?
"Just thinking about how many people have been in here, how many legends have played on that court, how many current stars, how many former stars. Wilt Chamberlain played here, Phog Allen, of course; we named it after him. He's a legend. And Bill Self for one, he's keeping this program alive."
What does the camping tradition say about the students?
"I think the fact that we are this dedicated to our program shows that we are
the best student section in America definitely. We are very dedicated to our team, just like they appreciate us cheering them on while they're playing. You know, we are very proud of our stadium; it's the best stadium in college basketball. It's the cathedral, it's the Sistine Chapel of college basketball."
Brett Landrum,
sophomore from
Geneva, Ill.:
Do you have a favorite game in Allen Fieldhouse?
Alen Fieldhouse? "I'd honestly say TCU last year. We beat them really bad and it was my first game. Wiggins went off, and we just destroyed them."

"Everybody really gets into it, and that's the best part about it because it
brings the school together. And then obviously people are camping really early in the morning. It just shows a ton of dedication."
Christian Jones, freshman from Shawnee:
How long have you been a Kansas basketball fan?
"Since about 5. My dad just kind of introduced me to the sport of basketball and I just watched all the games with him. I haven't really missed many games. I watch pretty much all of them. It's a big part of my life. I really enjoy it."
What makes a basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse different from anywhere else?
"Just the atmosphere of the people. Here, it's everyone chanting, everyone yelling. There's no, I guess, cheap noises. It's just the atmosphere of everyone yelling and having a good time."
"Just that we're dedicated. We love basketball, we love the team, we love each other. We always get into it. We're very accepting of each other. It's just an awesome feeling."

Frish said she hopes the campus can take this incident and factor it into a larger conversation that needs to happen, but she doesn't know exactly what that conversation will look like.
