Wow...I can see it being a nice venue, as far as atmosphere during the glory days, but not so much recently. It is definitely a nice facility, though, and no bad views.

Nice company in which to be included! Sometimes perspective is important. When I attended Bucknell in the late '70's - early '80's it was still transitioning from being a football school to a basketball school. It's amazing how far we've come in basketball culture.

Not sure it took this long for Bucknell to focus more on basketball than other sports. I was there in early '70's while Valvano was coach. If you were at the game when after a last second loss he smashed a folding chair at the ref's feet, there was no doubt what sport was the most entertaining.
