Basketball Practice Facility Update

[3uconn]

@NeillOstrout: UConn AD Warde Manuel says new basketball facility will be available for players to use when fall semester begins.

@NeillOstrout: Manuel says coaches offices and other aspects will be finished later.

@NeillOstrout: "It's going to be the best facility in the country, bar none." - Manuel

I think this is going in the Champions Center- it was revealed during his tribute dinner last year:

Should be angrier.

Should be angrier.

hahaha I kind of agree. I think the most lasting image of JC in my head is him pointing and screaming something, and you can see his piece of gum in his mouth

But of course if that's not how the man wants to be remembered, that's his prerogative

I was outside there Saturday outsdie the new practice facility. There's a sign on the door that said "closed to public" if that helps at all

Yes.

Sounds like it'll be an empty visit w/o a look at the new facility. Is there a campus map available at the Student Center or Bookstore? Maybe the dairy bar? beer hall?

Yes you can find campus maps in the Student Union and the Visitors Center (which is right next the best bar on campus Ted's) as well as on giant signs all around campus. There is also an iPhone app with an interactive map. Be sure to check out the new Storrs Center, its beautiful.

I think I noticed that in the locker room they have throwback authentic nba jerseys of uconn players on display . Some guy named Marc Allen brown was posting pics , one of rips buddies might be an agent .
