With apologies to Louisville, this is not an NCAA venue, at least not one Hawaii is used to. There are more stands at Junior Olympics. There are 2,096 seats. And my guess is there will be 50 people here for Hawaii match, mostly the Wahine parents. The temporary bleaches are about 15 rows up on the two sidelines, four rows on either baseline. Sportcourt is down, bland and red. Feel like we’re in an airplane hanger. I have never seen a sadder Division I site. And getting up to the court … you have to follow temporary arrows through a maze and try to figure it out. Took 10 minutes just to find the place. The interview room will be behind temporary curtains, pretty close to where the Louisville band is schedule to sit. That will make for interesting postmatch chats. And the scoreboards are two generic ones, small, with only team names, points, Games won and game clock. Pretty pathetic.
