We'll, I'm here. We're staying at the Hilton that's attached to the arena. The hotel, and the area around the hotel/arena is pretty much deserted. It's windy and bitter cold outside so we'll just hang out in the hotel until dinner.
The last time I was here was in the early 2000's when Diana Taurasi single handily beat the Kara Lawson led Lady Vols. Just did a walk through of the hotel (which was a Hyatt back then) and the XL Center. Everything is the same as back then - just shop-worn, dated and deserted.
It will be interesting to see what the gameday atmosphere is like here tomorrow.
Go Lady Vols!
