Less than 9 years after starting Mission 351 in earnest with a visit to Allen Fieldhouse I was able to achieve my original goal of getting to 100 home courts with a Saturday afternoon trip to Auburn, AL to see my UConn Huskies take on Auburn. The brand new arena Auburn has built in the last couple years is a perfect venue for them and their fan base and it was impressive how many people showed up the Saturday before Christmas to see a struggling UConn program. While the outcome of the game was not what I hoped for my team, I loved the fan support from the locals and everyone was super nice even though I was cheering for the opposing team.
Plus, who can hate watching Bruce Pearl go nuts on the sidelines...
