North Carolina practices at the Smith Center just like we practice in our home gym.  Only non-elite schools need gimmicks like practice facilities to trap kids into signing LOIs.

There's a lot going on behind the scenes in terms of the basketball practice facility/basketball complex at K-State.

One thing to consider is that what ISU has now is nothing close to what they originally wanted to do.   Originally they wanted to build about an $18 million dollar facility right next to Hilton.   Instead what they got is a facility built on a commercial property next to an apartment complex about 1.5 miles from the ISU campus . . . the property was donated by a developer.  Not saying it isn't good for them, but as stated, it's not what Jaime Pollard their AD originally wanted to do.

Article states that it's closer to 3 miles, which is quite a ways away.  Our guys can practice in Ahearn which is a lot closer than that (albeit a much older building and not exclusively for basketball anymore).
