Agreed, Cat, that was pretty awesome. On the men's side, they have been chatting about what the lobby and entrance should look like. I agree that it should be a shrine to all the former UCONN greats - national POY's, AA's, and most importantly (on the men's side) a shrine to those who have succeeded in the NBA as well as those on the women's side who have been Olympians and World Champions.

Some have also suggested letting fans purchase bricks on the walkway leading up to the facility. Another way fans can take part, if you will, and "donate" for the facility. I wonder who will have the honor of having the facility named after them? It would be nice to name the individual courts after Geno and Jim...
