I had a good time at the game. The team looks impressive and if teams will stop hitting threes to keep it close late, we could run away with a few games... Until then we're gonna have to learn to hit free throws (lol yea right).

Anyway, I took my grandfather (who lives in Raliegh) to the game and he had a good time; so, regardless of the outcome it was a fun trip and winning just added to it.

The stadium is nice and about twice the capacity of Littlejohn. It reminded me a lot of the new Bobcat arena in Charlotte except the fans seem to care more even though the game was decided early. One thing I will comment on is the fact that if you went to the RBC center when there wasn't a game being played, you'd think it was only a hockey arena. All the hockey banners are near the score board while the NCSU bball banners are tucked away into the corners. Also, one of the loudest cheers of the night came when they showed the Carolina Huricane's score on the board. One more thing I noticed was that there were surprisingly few students there. This is probably b/c of how far the stadium is from campus but it was disappointing none-the-less.

The fans around me were nice until late in the game when one group turned into sore losers telling me "only fruits wear orange", I just smiled and laughed. Besides that one group everyone else was friendly and not like the norm for State.

Sorry I wasn't around to post videos from the game but if we can get a win on Saturday I'll try and have a full video before the UNC game next week :-)

Here is a link to all my pictures from my perspective all the way up in the nose bleed section. There are 34 pictures in all and one panoramic shot.

You'll notice in a few pics around about the 4 min mark in the 2nd half the stadium was emptying out. Also, with about 2 mins left... the place was nearly empty.
