Man, UVA's arena=SCHWING!

That thing is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

I like Vandy's.  The benches are on the baselines.  For one half, each team cannot hear their coach on the offensive end.  Puts a premium on smart players taking over the game.

I think it gives them an unprecedented home court advantage if they are used to it.  IHow is the rule worded that moved the opposing bench away from the students?  Any chance if we put our benches on the end lines somehow, we could have students behind them?  I think for this set up to work though you have to have a "moat" around the court, like Vandy and Minnesota

Wow, the crowd on the sidelines are extremely far away.  Not cool.

Can't find any good pics of the inside of UVA's place...that was just awesome last night.

Vandy's place has the elevated floor...looks odd.

Nation, you are starting to date yourself when you use "Schwing" to describe something.

Thanks, that thing looked beautiful last night...

Of course, if KSU had been willing to drop 130 Million on a building, I'm sure HOK could come up with something pretty cool too.
