rates McKale Center the No. 25 best home-court atmosphere in college basketball 鈥 and No. 2 in the state of 蜜柚直播.
It has GCU at No. 22. Other home courts in the West that are rated higher: No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 17 New Mexico, No. 18 Utah State and No. 20 San Diego State. Not surprisingly, Duke is rated second and Kansas No. 1.
UCLA and Washington did not make the list.
In my experience, at least in games I've covered in the West involving 蜜柚直播, there have been great home-court atmospheres at Washington, Gonzaga, New Mexico and San Diego State, while Gonzaga has a particularly organized and enthusiastic student section (also it helps greatly when those student sections are located on the sidelines as at Gonzaga and Washington, not the baselines).

Recruits, transfers and new coaches give Sean Miller's Wildcats a new look
First look: 蜜柚直播's 2018-19 roster
Brandon Randolph could see time in the starting rotation with a big enough leap between freshman and sophomore campaigns.
UA is bringing in three players from the 2018 recruiting class, two graduate transfers that will be eligible to play immediately and another transfer from Cornell.
Here's what the Wildcats' rotation might look like when they take the court in October.
Head coach
Was: Sean Miller
Is now聽...聽Sean Miller.聽
Lead assistant coach
Was: Lorenzo Romar. The former Washington boss spent a year at 蜜柚直播 before taking the head coaching job at Pepperdine.
Is now 鈥 Mark Phelps. Phelps moves over one chair and gets a raise, to $275,000 annually.聽
Assistant coach
Was: Mark Phelps
Is now ... Justin Gainey. Gainey played under Miller at N.C. State from 1996-1999 and the two are familiar with each other. Gainey signed a two-year contract worth $290,000 annually.聽
Assistant coach
Was: Book Richardson
Is now ... Danny Peters. Richardson was fired prior to the start of the season in September after he was involved in the pay-for-play scandal in college basketball, as investigated by the FBI. Assistant director of basketball operations Austin Carroll temporarily filled Richardson's role. Peters signed a two-year contract worth $275,000 annually.聽
Peters formerly was on UA's staff as the assistant director of basketball operations, but departed in 2014 to join James Whitford at Ball State.聽
Point guard
奥补蝉:听Parker Jackson-Cartwright
Is now 鈥 聽Brandon Williams. The four-star point guard recommitted to the Wildcats and provides some depth and size to the position.聽
2018-19 reserves: Justin Coleman, Alex Barcello
Shooting guard
Was: Allonzo Trier
Is now ... Dylan Smith. Entering his junior season, Smith flashed potential as a future starter especially when Rawle Alkins missed three games during Pac-12 play. Don't be surprised if Brandon Randolph drastically improves between his freshman and sophomore year and leaps Smith for the starting spot.
2018-19 reserves:聽Brandon Randolph, Devonaire Doutrive
Small forward
Was: Rawle Alkins
Is now 鈥聽 Emmanuel Akot. Technically, Akot was supposed to be a part of the 2018 recruiting class, but reclassified. In hind sight, that could've been a genius move on Akot's part because now he's a seasoned wing player with a year of college ball under his belt.聽
2018-19 reserves:聽Omar Thielemans
Power forward
奥补蝉:听Deandre Ayton
Is now 鈥聽 Ryan Luther. The Pittsburgh graduate transfer adds experience to 蜜柚直播's youth. However, Luther suffered a foot injury in January that cut his season short, and Ira Lee could very well see a lion's share of minutes.
2018-19 reserves:聽Ira Lee, Stone Gettings
Center
Was: Dusan Ristic
Is now 鈥聽 Chase Jeter. The Duke transfer would play power forward for any other team in college basketball, but the Wildcats don't have a single center on board so expect Jeter to play heavy minutes as the anchor in the middle.
2018-19 reserves:聽Ira Lee, Ryan Luther
