Not a lot of room to dive for loose balls under that one basket.

Yeah my goodness they better put some netting up or something. Also how many people are gonna be there? Doesn't look like it can hold a lot.

Played on the rooftop court at the New Brunswick Marriott once upon a time.
Scary hoping the ball stays on the court. this will be interesting on fast  breaks

Good thing DJO won't be playing with his high speed fast breaks.

That is a lot more open than last year.  Have to think outside shooting will be impacted.  Also looks like weather will be in the 60's, a little chilly.

Will they eventually add seats between the floor and the bleachers that are currently in place or will that area be taken up by media and event staff?

Too bad its a night game--that top photo isn't nearly as dramatic a backdrop as the bottom photo.

Possible for someone to swat a block into the sea.  Who is most likely to do this for MU, CO?

I can certainly picture a ball getting away at that upper left corner of the court, perhaps via a defensive trap.  I'll bet both teams want to force the ball overboards.  ESPN highlight stuff.  Very cool.

Cool pictures.  The end wall is 20ft high.  Buzz said yesterday at the Blue and Gold lunch that he might get an extra long time out when they have to fish it out of the drink.

I wonder if that Wisconsin company is involved in the playing surface again.  Anyone know?

I'd much rather drive out of control towards the Bay then towards the conning tower.  Cue up the clunk sound effects.

Think it would make a big difference what background you shoot at?  Once side has a big gray wall and the other will just be a black abyss.

I think wind would be worse.  I'd be surprised if it becomes a 3pt shooting contest tomorrow night.

During the game or after?
