Everything they have changed in Hilton the past few years has made it a worse product. At least on tv.
It looks dark and empty with the lighting
Court is kind of an ugly white (imo)
You can barely see the student section, band, and now cheerleaders all of which make college basketball fun to watch and different
The lighting is what you do in arenas that you want to hide the empty seats, makes no sense in Hilton.

And the changes around the court have HURT the energy level and this years changes will only further that.

You don’t **** with what was amazing.

Between these and some of the changes in football we've definitely not been winning in the atmosphere department. They couldnt do much worse if they tried.

Exactly! Like it looks like Steve Prohm so let’s just get rid of all of it.

Seems like the guards should allow their guys to get deep and let Usun swat it from behind them. No need to foul their guy.

I don't know who the hell is making these decisions (maybe Jamie) but you are right on all of these.

The lighting change back in the 2017 year (i think that's when it was) was a horrible decision.

The change of the student section chairback seats into bleacher style would've been fine if they didn't also move it back from the court like an extra 5-8 feet. And last year they installed a baby gate in front of the student section and it makes it look so tacky.

And now they have the cheerleaders/dance team standing and not sitting on the court like they've been for decades.....I don't get it

We're gonna need Lipsey to play a ton of minutes this year. He's a good point guard already.
Let's wait until we play someone with a good defensive plan. THEN we'll see if he can handle the pressure. I like what I see now though.
