It's something that we've almost all come to take for granted, by why is UW so tough at the Kohl Center? I can't imagine that it is any louder than some of the other arenas around the country. MSU & Illinois come to mind in terms of a more intimidating crowd presence in the B10. As far as the student section goes, it really only rises to the occasion for big games. So I'm thinking it has more to do with how Bo Ryan prepares his team, but how does a coach go about teaching this mentality? Before I get bashed, this is coming from a former UW student who had season tickets for every year eligible, including a full season in row AA.
