I usually only get to hit the non-conference games, since they're cheaper. But when I was working at a law firm that had a bunch of Rams Club attorneys, I used to get blessed on the regular. One time old head casually asked me where I was watching the State game that night, and I was like "my living room", and he gave me two tickets. That was the game that Sidney Lowe got sick and had to leave at halftime. When I was there for conference games, it was way too packed, no room to move. It's evident there was a lack of foresight in design. Especially if you tryna walk to one of the parking decks from the arena after the game.
One good thing Matt Doherty did was try to get the students closer to the action and create more of a home court advantage. I highly doubt that there will be a new stadium; Dean Dome is here to stay. Maybe renovations wouldn't be out of the question, but I really don't see where luxury boxes could be added, given the current layout of the arena.
When we played in the NIT in Doherty's last season, there was a game against Wyoming, and after the game their coach said it was the loudest building he'd ever been in. This was because the seats were all open since it wasn't part of the ticket package, so the die-hards and the students got the seats normally occupied by the blue hairs.
It is kinda ridiculous that no games are played at Carmichael; I think the powers that be realize that people would probably start asking for more games there once they see what a dope home court advantage it would be. I'm sure State is planning on playing at least 1-2 games at Reynolds Coliseum, they don't seem to be hurting from having done it in the past.

You know Roy hates that shyt, but I LOVE IT!
Felton needs minutes. Idk why Platek was on the court so much.
Kenny was on fire probably didn’t take a shot in the 2nd half though.
They played great even though it was an all time bad referee crew.

Jalek def gonna be the one to hit Roy up like "I thought it was a 40 minute game coach
"i thought platek was solid tbh. he didnt do anything special but played sound defense and generally took care of the ball. cant ask for much more from a low rated freshman in his first true road game. plus once b rob is back (he said he'll play in the pk80) he won't get as many minutes. even more so when cam comes back
platek did pin a shot at the end of the game which was impressive. i didnt think he had those kind of ups
that is the difference between roy and k. guys like platek and huff wouldnt even sniff the court until their senior year at minimum. instead roy is giving them minutes so they'll be ready for the tourney and in the future. hell look at how roy gave kenny minutes as a freshman despite him being 0-12 from 3. those minutes set the foundation for him being a starter last year and being a breakout contributor this year. same for luke. neither one of those guys would play at all for duke.
Who was that near end of the bench in the suit... BRob
that's b rob just running down the tunnel lol. seventh is jumping before he even takes off
love this pic of the guys going crazy:

Happy Thanksgiving brehs
Anybody watch the game? We playing some good ball right now.
Got some interesting possible matchups in the next couple days. Could have a rematch with Arkansas tomorrow if they beat Oklahoma and then if we both win, we get Mich. St on Saturday.

He’s probably right considering how he phrased it, but we have two 5* seniors who have played in back to back national championships. No other team in the country has that type of leadership. Our 4 best players are juniors and seniors.
We may not have a team full of future NBA players, but this team is tailor made for another deep tourney run.
Edit: And I completely forgot about Cam Johnson. shyt, Roy might take home another one
