Surprised this wasn't discussed earlier (though not much need to discuss anything other than that beauty of a UConn game tonight).

So both teams travel half a world away out to Japan for a marquee OOC game and come out with nothing to show for it other than stitches. Ouch.

Of course ESPN can't control the weather on a particular day, but someone there should have at least thought about the potential hazards of playing a basketball game in a non air-conditioned arena on a humid tropical island...

Following the score earlier and not liking Pitt leading. When the zags go down I want it to be us.

From the linked article:

"There was no air conditioning inside Foster Field House, but large fans were in the corners of the court."

Why would anyone think that shuffling the overweight boosters to the corners of the gym would improve floor conditions? Is that a feng shui trick?

...and it wasn't even on an air craft carrier this time!
