The sort-of season opener for college hoops, played on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson.  As a Tar Heel alum we're having a viewing party with some friends of ours.  Anybody else going to check it out?

Some pics of the deck/court:

I think I am going to watch it.  I like NC big men and think they are fun to watch.

Go Heels! As a born-n-raised Tar Heel and lifelong Carolina basketball fan, I'll definitely be watching. The Celtics and Carolina are my basketball obsessions 1 and 1A. And at least one of them is definitely playing this winter. I have high hopes for this team, and Michigan State will be a good test off the bat. Curious as to how playing on the carrier will work out though. Will depth perception issues come into play?

I could see the sun causing issues ( getting in eyes) but other than that it will be just like playing on a playground with refs.
