Live from the Comcast Center
I’m not a big fan of corporate-sponsored arena names, especially at the college level, but I suppose live-blogging from the second-deck concourse is one of the benefits of having the local cable giant sponsor the arena you’re visiting. :)
I managed to score VT-Maryland tickets Sunday morning (while still in Indiana) via Ebay, drove from Reston over into Maryland to pick them up Sunday afternoon, and now I’m here on the UMCP campus, 45 minutes from game time. Ah, the wonders of the ACC — being able to go see road games.
This is a super-nice arena, by the way. Plenty of room, very good sight lines, and they have the students right on top of the court (always a good idea in college basketball). In 5 years or so, when the demands of ACC basketball bring a Cassell replacement onto VT’s agenda, we could do a lot worse than this.
The game’s on Comcast SportsNet if you’re in the mid-Atlantic, so turn it on at 9 PM. Go Hokies!
