That looks so good, it looks fake! Are you kidding me. Wow, I can't wait to see the team practice in there.

 

[CL82]

Sweet, did you take it? If not where did you see it?

I think that's just a digital rendering- looks like it's from the virtual tour.

And I think tcf15 is, "the sane".

So I retweeted the tweet with the previous picture and Adams then tweeted out the pic. In response to his tweet a person sent him their own picture. He said his cousin was working on the AC in there about a month and took the picture and sent it to him.

Wow.... !!! We are here to stay. For a state school what an incredible facility. ...

I don't know- there are not a ton of gyms like look like our new gym- that's pretty sick.

Three baskets out to the three point line on the side. A full court and additional baskets on the other side- the players will be in heaven.

so who will be the first Husky to be featured in a trick shot video all over the new digs? Doty's gone, time for someone else to pick it up

I'm hesitant to even write this because I don't want to be negative. As nice as it looks, wouldn't you think there would be more out of bounds space to the right instead of that wall? Grammar school gyms have a wall next to the court.

 

[dogpause]

Is it just an illusion, or is there a wall bordering one side of the court?

This is a fake: no dog.

That sides just for free throw shooting. The only time they'll need to have two baskets at one time is when they're doing full court scrimmaging... other than that they can use the other side of the court or the main court.

Actually a real gym, can practically smell it!

I noticed that too. Due to real estate being a premium courtside for Division 1 games, that's about as much room as they have anyway in real games. The court is ringed by the players, media, and cheerleaders. Probably a conscious decision-the way you go to save a ball from going out of bounds when you have 10' to work with is different than when you have 1.5' to work with....you play like you practice, as the saying goes. That's my guess as to why it has a grammar school sideline.

The only unfortunate thing about these pics is that the great Enzo Patoni with his magical kiln is no longer alive to do the ceiling tiles...

What's great is the sun always shines on the new facility. Once a recruit sees that he will not be able to control his desire to commit

You mean these trophies?
