*As to the often discussed topic on BA of a practice facility, Boals mentioned in the post-game interview that the team will practice in the Convo Monday and Tuesday, but will need to find another facility for practice Wednesday through Friday. Reading between the lines, I think he was making a point about the seriousness of having no practice facility.
The courts at the community center are fairly decent. One seems to be roped off for pickle ball much of the time though. To quote Animal House "maybe they could arrange an honorarium from the student fund" to cover the use of the court?
For serious basketball, those courts are dangerous, they are the equivalent of an ice rink and not a college length floor.

They can’t close off a gym at ping?
Nope. The Athletic Department has no control of Ping.
The university can't do them a solid? It's been a while since I was there, but they used to have a really nice gym, two full-length courts. Nice floors.

The courts at Ping are not NCAA regulation size nor do they have adequate out of bounds areas needed to prevent injury.

I suppose the president could order a court opened for the team, but it would set off a hailstorm.

People really will whine about anything wont they?

We can't let the D1 basketball team shoot around for two hours because the court stripes aren't regulation? The out-of-bounds lines only have 3 feet of space instead of 4? Because pickleball class might be cancelled this week?

You've never witnessed an academic institution's turf war have you?

Yeah some of these are hard to believe if you’ve not lived them.

Call me naive, but I guess I didn't realize a 90 minute shootaround would cause institutional upheaval.

I guess I'm back on board with building a new practice facility.
