SPOKANE, Wash. - We are just minutes before tipoff at the beautiful McCarthey Center at Gonzaga. The facility opened in 2004 and has a new state-of-the-art arena type feel. At the same time, it is cozy enough and the seats are also as close to the court as possible.
A packed house here could make for quite an NCAA or NIT tournament game. Tonight the arena is about half full and mostly families, but more people are than I expected with competition from day one of the NCAA men's tournament going on.
There are about 15 members of Band-uh under the south basket, but not much else in the way of support for the Aggies. Some people applauded for the UCD starting lineup, but I think they were just Gonzaga fans being nice.
I'll check back in at halftime with first-half analysis.
