Upgraded to Courtside

I went to my third Hofstra Men's Basketball game in three days as part of the 2K Classic yesterday. If you tweet your seat location using the hashtag #WeAreHofstra, you have a chance at being upgraded to courtside seats.

You can probably guess what happened next because I'm not writing a post about not winning (also, you might've read this post's title)... That's right, I won, and got to bring my friends Mat and Joe down with me.

As soon as the cheerleaders (it's possible they were part of the dance team instead) who escorted us to our cushioned seats on the shiny floor walked away, a woman who works there came over to me and asked if we had the tickets for those seats. Really Hofstra??

Anyway, it was pretty awesome even if it did take some time adjusting to the new view and increased possibility of bodily harm.  At one point, one of the Marshall players went flying into seat maybe two or three down from Joe...  If a person had been there, there would have been an injury.

Here are some highlights, most of which was shot without any zoom.
