Well, I made it to Assembly Hall. This place is HUGE. They have the media way up in the Bob Ueker seats. It's easily the furthest I've ever been from a basketball floor. It feels like about the same distance I'd be from the field in the Ryan Field pressbox. It seems like a mile. But at least I'm at center court.
It's a bizarrely shaped arena. The sideline stands go up forever. TV broadcasts don't do a good job of conveying the scale. There are also massive protruding concrete structures behind each basket. The lobby and concourse and lobby areas are beautiful, all brand new glass and steel. You can tell they were just recently added.
We're minutes to tip. It will be interesting to see how the Cats come out on defense.
