Allen Fieldhouse is one of college basketball’s meccas. A must on every fan’s bucket list. Everyone talks about it, but it’s hard to understand what the Phog is like until you’re there. A stone-clad airport hanger with a hodgepodge of red and blue bleachers and chairs crammed into every possible spot, the building is made to be loud. And it is. The Jayhawks set a Guinness World Record for “Loudest Roar” in 2017, beating Rupp Arena’s previous mark, one of many blue blood brags the two programs swap back and forth.
Tonight, the Cats made the Phog theirs, in every possible way.
