OK, so after the Syracuse game, there was a lot of talk about how teams struggle shooting the basketball in football stadiums. The sightlines and the feel of the stadium are different from a cozy basketball arena. We certainly looked like hot garbage at the Carrier Dome, which certainly had a lot to do with the SUcks D and the 1 day of rest after PITT, but part of it could have been that the team was dome-jobbed ( , couldn't resist). Do we think that the Georgia Dome will affect the HOYAS or any other team? Are the teams practicing in the cavernous dome this week...meaning we should expect improvement from last time? Any thoughts?

All the more reason to pound the ball inside and not settle for the 3 ball. At least we have more to blame than sightlines for the Syracuse game.

I'd imagine all 3 teams got court time today and then tomorrow and Saturday during the day.
For whatever it's worth, both Florida (St. Louis - Edward Jones Dome) and Ohio St. (San Antonio - Alamodome) just played 2 games in domes. I looked over the rest of the OSU schedule and couldn't find any domes.

I believe you’ll find those are the same measurements as our Phone Booth back in Washington.

Florida also played in the SEC Tournament in the Georgia Dome. They only time I was ever disoriented by a court as a player was the transition to an NBA court as a middle schooler. These guys play in enough gyms and on enough courts that I don't think anything will make much of a difference. But if something will, I'd say this bit about Florida will be the biggest factor.

Not a big Hoosiers fan, eh bubb? Oh balls! I got smoked on a pop-culture pop quiz. I hate it when that happens. Apologies.
