“You let the whole team down!” and “You can’t do that!” chants fill the College Park Center for every men’s and women’s basketball game. The chants, used to heckle opposing teams, aren’t started by UTA fans.
The MavBrass Basketball Band leads the charge when it comes to getting into an opponent’s head.
“It’s one of those things that can make or break, really affect the atmosphere and how the team is doing,” MavBrass director Chris Evans said about the group’s impact.
The pep band has been a UTA tradition for decades, according to Evans. The group is generally always present to support the men’s and women’s basketball teams at home and tournament games.
