Arena #97: Pete Mathews Coliseum - Jacksonville St. vs. Chattanooga

First trip to Alabama starts with a stop in Jacksonville for a pre-holiday Thursday afternoon matchup between the Gamecocks and the Chattanooga Mocs.  Outside of the Pete Mathews Coliseum was definitely nothing to look at, but in the arena itself, the remodel they did within the last couple years has created one of the best quality small school venues I've been to in years.  Plus having a competitive game that comes down to the final shot doesn't hurt either!
