...Of Lossalle basketball.

The LaSuck Singers with the National Anthem, the excitement of a 1/3 full crowd at Tom Gola's Garage, the blank walls right behind the basket, the banners featuring teams from the Stone Age in grainy black and white picks and a "press row" that has three whole people on it.

For a home game against Rhode Island with nothing else going on in Philly.

Expectorant Basketball. Catch the Disease!!!!!!

Hahaha, so true. But as for the game it has been pretty fun to watch so far. Lasalle is just killing RI's press, but URI keeps nailing threes.

Edit: It is also kind of fun watching on Channelsurfing.net because they don't have it on TV so they have a camera set up and then the audio is the radio broadcast. But what that means is that there are no commercials visually and you get to see everything that happens at TOs and Half.

Of course after I say that URI misses their next three and then starts causing TOs on the press.

Somebody answer me a question.

What constitues an "arena"?

I don't think an "arena" has basket supports that hang from the ceiling and actually affect the game by balls hitting them. That happens in garages.

There sure are a lot of "arenas" in Philadelphia that have less than 4,000 seats.

MOR, another question is what constitutes a "stadium"?
See Cameron Indoor Stadium - Capacity 9,314 with basket supports that hang from the ceiling. :)

But, they don't hang from a ceiling and then overhang the basket where a rebound comes up, out and hits them. :-)
