It allowed me to explore beats of the play in an academic environment where there is a lot of feedback.

That's probably the best team in the tournament we'll play. Especially in an environment like that. It's kind of like the ultimate road game.

I think it's the open gym and it's a different environment that not a lot of teams play in. There's a lot of hype around the state tournament and a lot of guys are nervous.

Getting to play those types of team is what makes Division I so exciting. I really like the environment we played in last year. I'm excited. They've got really good fans, so you know you're going to a good crowd. That's good old basketball right there. We gave them quite a scare last year.

I heard it was a hostile environment and I heard in the CIAA every place we play is going to be tough. But we just went out there and didn't worry about it.

The trick with creating a welcoming environment is to find a play structure that fits naturally with the overall look of the property and blends well with the architecture of the home.
