BU construction update

[Da Coach]

It has already been decided that there will not be a Red-White game this year because of the lack of facilities. It will be played next year in the new facility.

Interesting. I remember as a kid how cool it was to meet players like Derek Harper and Bruce Douglas at the Orange/Blue game at Millikin. Back then, the University of Illinois traveled around central Illinois to meet their fan base.

Back when I was in high school, a small college from the South used our gym to practice before a tournament in B/N. It was pretty cool to see college players on our court, even if it was DIII ball.

Athletic performance center nearly enclosed. The gym in the Puterbaugh Men??™s Basketball Practice Facility is also being painted in preparation for installation of wood flooring in January and ceramic tile work has started in the basement in the hydrotherapy room. The Athletic Performance Center and the Basketball Practice Facility are expected to be complete by late spring or early summer of 2010, with the buildings fully operational when students return to campus next fall.
