Arena #101: Colonial Life Arena - South Carolina vs. Limestone College

Second trip to the Southeast in a week started with a trip to the state capital of South Carolina for an afternoon tip between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Limestone College Saints to kick off the next 100 venues on Mission 351.  Obviously with playing a non-D1 school, my expectations of the competitiveness of this game were not very high, but Limestone kept it close throughout the first half before I had to leave to get to Charlotte to get my Kemba Walker bobblehead at the Hornets game that night.  Also unsurprisingly, the crowd was not very robust for a mid-afternoon weekday tip just after Christmas, but I would imagine the CLA gets pretty loud when the Cocks are good and playing a top caliber team.
