Perhaps the coaches and team will agree with your view and that will be the end of the Greenbrier. But from this fan’s point of view it was a fantastic setting. No bad seats. Seven tiers on our side and eight or nine on the other, basically a small high school gym - you could hear the players talk to one another. A picnic atmosphere, a cordial, friendly crowd, and with the long commercial time outs and no bands, there was plenty of time to “get to know the neighbors.” Everyone in our section seemed be enjoying themselves. As for the setting, that corner of W. Va. is one of the most beautiful places on the east coast, and the staff was competent and welcoming. I’m buying on day one if the Cat’s play there again.
One thought about the UVA game - the one I attended. It showed that this team is so deep that NM can have an off night and there is plenty of firepower to compensate. The team can even make up for lopsided free throw counts. But the one thing that made the difference was the rebounding imbalance. UVa was was simply bigger, virtually across the board, both in height and breadth. About six minutes into game they figured out that crashing the offensive glass was their meal ticket.
