I'm worried that this is all going to look cheesy on ESPN3.
Even with Evan Lepler and Stan Lewter on the call.

Coach K hates the motorcycle now, just think of how pissed he'll be the first time the lights dim and a black-cloaked Demon Deacon walks out to center court leading a pregnant sow by a studded leather leash, fires up a dirty chainsaw, uses it to carve a squealing piglet from the mother's womb, then holds the piglet high into the air so the blood and placental fluid drip onto the center court WF logo as a pre-game offering to our Dark Lord.
So your argument is that we need better personnel?
I'd rather go with the dark arts.
You guys are overlooking the very important question of what are we going to call the student section?!

I would also be amenable to Heaven's Gate assuming this is the route we're taking. No reason not to loop in some UFOs. This would also answer the question about how the student section should dress; matching black shirts, sweat pants, and black and white Nikes. Sports marketing, get on it.
No one is going to wear sweatpants to a basketball game.
Just say everyone wear black and leave it at that. Let the diehards and the band go all in on the demonic attire and get 1 or 2 easy to follow dark as shit chants and you are good to go.
If you want more than a couple hundred people to buy in you have to put a good product on the court and make it as easy as possible for the Machi's and Chi-O's to throw on their black dresses, show up hammered at the first tv timeout, have fun watching us kick Duke's ass while conducting a human sacrifice during Grayson Allen's free throws, and leave as soon as the game is in hand to go back to getting hammered.
We don't want to overlook the importance of paying attention to details behind the scenes. We should have fog machines in the visiting locker room and maybe live raven or two. The tunnel they come out of could be like something from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligiari.
How is Wake's choir? I think it would be sick to have an actual choir in the stands singing Gregorian chants during free throws.
Get the whole crowd silent as soon as a foul is called, let the choir start the chant alone, pick up the pace as the opponent steps to the line, and then have the whole crowd come in as he gets set to take the shot.
Well the WF Gospel Choir would likely have some concerns. I'm sure we could find some people willing to lead us in this number:
I'm gonna stick with my instinct that a recoding of a child shrieking in agony saying things like "YOU'RE HURTING ME!" every time the ball goes through the net for the visiting team is a pretty solid strategy.
What are the rules for piping in sound (other than the announcer) or playing instruments during live action?
Seems like we would need an actual child to scream. We could attach wires to the backboard that lead to a Deke Pledge suspended from the rafters and have him act as if he is being electrocuted after each made basket. That would probably be within the rules.
