Back to Apache home page By Nate Bloomquist College basketball season is great. Whether you're a fan of the Fighting Illini, defending national champ Michigan State University, or Eastern Illinois University, college basketball season is exciting. The fight for making it to the national tournament is always action packed. The upsets during the regular season and during March Madness is what playing basketball at the college level is all about. It gives fans good reason to root for the underdog.
Fans are crazy for their college basketball.
They have their chants, and jeers prepared for the opposing team. They are loyal to their own team and will hold no referee, or opposing coach as their prisoner. Fight songs are often the life blood of the college basketball experience. The bands are like the 'superfans' of the team as they belt out fight songs and rally cries during time-outs or at minor breaks in the action. But hordes of people aren't at IVCC basketball games.
