On Saturday, Feb. 11, McKeon Pavilion filled with more than 3,500 excited fans to watch the game every Gaels fan waits for during basketball season: the men’s basketball face-off with Gonzaga. With every rivalry matchup comes a variety of chants from the crowd, especially heckling.
Often in these matchups, there is one player their fans love and enemies hate. The player enemies hate is typically the victim of heckling from fans. For the Saint Mary’s student section, Josh Perkins was that player last Saturday evening.
