2012 NCAA TOURNAMENT - 2ND ROUND - Thursday March 15th, 2012 - Alburqueque, New MexicoKnown as the 'PIT' Arena
#5 Vanderbilt 79 #12 Harvard 70 (final score)
What I expect from a Harvard basketball player discuss:
"Our intelliegent and knowledge basketball team have went to Alburqueque, New Mexico over the weekend and play an earthly dugged out arena known as 'The Pit'"
The surroundings of the basketball court located below ground level at levels several hundred feet. We feel like a dugged out mine field. The acoustical reverbations of the fans echoing in our ear senses create a threshold hearing pain of decibels well above the average highest noise levels.
Our opponent is a southern ivy league school named Vanderbilt, one of the famous millionaire elites of way back then, who created that school in the Deep South.
While this great Harvard school visiting the Desert Southwest, we have enjoy our duration over the weekend exploring the artifacts and Southwestern architecture of adobe construction and the thickness of walls that have a energy savings that curtail heating and cooling calculations of thermal comfort.
We also enjoy the abundance of solar and the Indian culture with the arts.

2012 Western Regionals - Phoenix, Arizona
Louisville vs Michigan StateFlorida vs Marquette
2 Midwestern teams visiting 75 degrees in Phoenix, Arizona.The Milwaukee Brewers spring training site is in the Phoenix area for baesabll.Well not so quite for the Tigers (Detroit) nor the Marlins/Rays for the Florida Gators if they want to catch some spring training baseball.
I hope these 4 schools can enjoy great Mexican and Southwestern entrees.No west coast teams but I'm sure you see a Wisconsin/Michigan related person going there.
