Some of the games played in on second glance seem to be JV games that I sat on the bench to watch actual game afterward. Same amount of gyms, just a different allocation.

This gyms thing is reminding me I have to update my ongoing DIII list of gyms, fields, stadiums, sports, and schools ...

I personally think that each teams landing page on d3hoops.com should have a pic of their gym like the d3football landing pages have pics of the field/stadiums! I know it is may be a lot of "unnecessary" work so I would volunteer on collecting images/contacting schools or whatever may need to be done.

[WUPHF]

I like gyms with history, so I might suggest the gym at Westminster (MO) for a bucket list gym.  The gym, of course, was where Winston Churchill gave the Iron Curtain speech.



Everything in the gym is from a different era, include the NCAA and SLIAC banners.

If the history of the gym matters, this gym is a must...

[Greek Tragedy]

Go when they play Greenville then? 

[WUPHF]

According to Google Maps, Fulton is only about 90 minutes further than Greenville, though I have a better idea:

Greenville at Webster, potentially with everything on the line, next morning Brandeis at Washington University, home for dinner.

Well that's a must see. 

[ronk]

Although I've never been inside, I'd nominate the other palestra - the U of Rochester's home court - for uniqueness; from videostreams, it looks like playing in a swimming pool with the close high walls and elevated seating.

[CMSfan]

A Pomona-Pitzer-Claremont-Mudd-Scripps game. Not sure with the new arena situation where this is better to see now, so we'll see.

Yeah, I'm afraid neither of the current facilities come close to the intensity of Ducey Gym.

[John Gleich]

UWSP x2 (Quandt + 1 Men's game at the Berg)
UWW
UWO
UWPlatte
UWStout
UWEC
UWLaX
UWRF (old gym)
UWSuperior
Wheaton (Centennial Gym and King Arena... Same gym, different configuration)
Elmhurst
North Central
IWU
Benedictine
Carthage (does a scrimmage count?)
Beloit (scrimmage)
St. Norbert (scrimmage)
Coe
Marian
Edgewood
Carroll
Carnegie Mellon
La Roche
Gustavus Adolphus
Puget Sound
Lawrence
Finlandia University

So that's 24, without the scrimmages or additional gyms. And ending in a big FU.

(though, honestly, FU was before most of the others... And FU is pretty little).

Plus Salem (2 trips, 4 games). And two games at the McDermott Center in Las Vegas.

Also been inside and played basketball (though not for a true game) at Lake Forest and Augustana.

Non-DIII

Michigan Tech
Viterbo
St. Francis (IL)
Trinity International
Marquette (exhibition)
UW Parkside (scrimmage)

[Pat Coleman]

I have never been to Finlandia. I find it hard to imagine how I might get up there although I have seen FU play elsewhere.
