Arena #110: Eblen Center - Tennessee Tech vs. Belmont

Second game of this Tennessee doubleheader weekend took us about 90 minutes east of Nashville to Cookeville, TN and the Eblen Center on the campus of Tennessee Technological University for an Ohio Valley Conference matchup between TTU and Belmont.  While the outside of the Eblen Center and the concourse inside show some age, it seems like the seating bowl itself has been re-done recently.  I was incredibly impressed with the pre-game introductions and the graphics used to show and enhance images on the court as this was the first time I'd seen outside of a pro arena and it was at an OVC school nonetheless!  As for the game itself, TTU kept the game closer than I expected throughout, though Dylan Windler and his crew from Belmont ultimately came out with the W on this rainy evening.

Loved the pre-game graphics that were NBA arena-worthy
