kudos to indiana state....the athletic department, namely megan mckenna.....
for the job done in putting together the selection party at the rec center.....
i was there at the event....got to town a little early and had a chance to peek in at practice sunday afternoon before the selection party.....talked to coach lansing for a second or two...and then headed on over to the rec center...
it was my first time in the building.....very, very, very nice.....right where the tennis courts used to be i believe....very nice set up....
the selection party itself was handled very, very well.....sycamore hats off to megan, john sherman, ron prettyman and everybody else for a job well done.....
the standing ovation for coach lansing and the team was great....as was the ovation when ron prettyman was introduced.....it was outstanding the way the local audience showed their appreciation and respect for the coaches, the team and ron......
the only thing i would have changed or added was the video from the indy tv stations last week of larry bird talking about the team....it would have been fun to see the crowd's reaction to larry discussing the team...and the look on his face when doing that....
but i thought that the highlight videos that they did show were very good........
did anybody here know that they were webstreaming the event last night...supposedly over 2,000 people found the site and were viewing the party over the internet....very, very nice.....
and it was good to see channel 6 and channel 59 there......i think channel 13 and channel 8 got their footage from the terre haute stations....i didnt see anybody there from those stations, but i might have missed them.......
i hung around for about an hour after the party started to break up...and then drove back home to indy.....but it was a fun time......
