Really enjoyed seeing some love for Fifth Third Arena.

I think the writer in complimenting the fan base more so than the
building.

LOVE the press UC has gotten this year....being a big dog in the AAC has been so much better than middling in the old big east. And the AAC is seen as a great conference. Basically Cronin's best team at UC came on at the exact perfect time (AAC first year). The tv games we have had, the press coverage about SK, Cronin, Meanface, etc etc etc. This program BADLY needed this press. I live in Missouri and people here know about Meanface, SK, and UC due to this coverage. It's pretty exciting because it feels like "old times" for UC hoops. Now all we need is a deep run to really get this party started.

That's fine. I'd add that he was complimenting the experience. I still love Fifth Third and while I understand and agree that a more modern building is needed, I think Fifth Third takes way too much criticism. I still find it to be a great place to watch basketball.

I'd say it's both. When the students pack the place, it's craze-balls in there. Not too many arenas have that many students on both end lines. Can get pretty intimidating. Have to wonder if/when the place is rebuilt if some of that will be lost...

You just can't put a price on all the excellent exposure the UC program has gotten this year.

You guys need to stop worrying about the freaking Enquirer. UC is getting some serious national press lately.
