    Default Sanford Pentagon NCAA Mens BB

    The tickets for the Gohpers mens BB game vs Oklahoma St on Dec 12th went on sale yesterday.
    The Pentagon will also host a Nov 13 game between Iowa St and Colorado. We Play Iowa State on Dec 1st. Could see them first hand closer.

    these games make zero sense to me on on how it's an advantage to the schools involved..great for Sioux Falls but what does it bring for any school to play OOC games there?

    Not sure why these games happen either. This isn't the Denny Sanford Premier Center, its the Pentagon capacity 3,000 something!

    Well for one Sanford pays mucho bucks to the schools to play there. It also gives Sanford a lot of exposure. This will be the 2nd year in a row that it will be apart of ESPN's 24 hour of basketball event. Its like a Hoosiers like setting but with all the upgrades.The seating capacity is just right for the building. So far every school that has played there praised the facilitates. It's a once in a lifetime thing to play there. You wont see anything like it anywhere else. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend going. The Sanford Pentagon is a hidden basketball gem.

    As far as The Denny goes, the D1 women's sweet 16 and Elite 8 games will be played there this upcoming season. Sioux Falls is quickly and quietly becoming a basketball destination city.

    I don't think there are enough lines on the court.

    Plus isn't Minnesota trying to wrap up some fundraising for basketball practice facility... May be a bone thrown to Sanford (Health).
