Big East Basketball: Ranking the Conference's Best Arenas
0 of 10
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
For all fans of college basketball, the adjustment period from the old Big East to the new realigned Big East will not be an easy one.
The traditional powers like Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Notre Dame are now gone from the conference, and so are the spectacular venues they call home.
Entering the conference to join the so-called "Catholic Seven" are three new basketball programs that are rich in tradition, but which of the 10 teams has the best arena in the Big East?
Based on fan turnout, atmosphere, capacity and a few intangibles, I gave it my best try to rank all the basketball arenas where Big East basketball will be played in this season.
10. Prudential Center (Seton Hall)
1 of 10

Who at Seton Hall University would love to travel from the campus in South Orange, NJ to Newark for a basketball game at the Prudential Center?
The unfortunate answer to that question is not many people.
The good news for fans of the Pirates is that head coach Kevin Willard is trying to get fans of the team excited about basketball in Northern New Jersey once again.
One way to start having more than 8,000 fans come out to watch a game is to improve on the 3-15 conference record the Pirates had last season.
If the product on the floor improves, expect the Pirates to draw more than 10,000 fans on a consistent basis sooner rather than later.
9. Allstate Arena (DePaul)
2 of 10

Not many positive things are said about the DePaul Blue Demons basketball team, at least that has been the trend in the last decade.
The Blue Demons play in the other arena in Chicago that hosts a plethora of sports teams including the AHL's Chicago Wolves and the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League.
Oliver Purnell's team play in the much-maligned Allstate Arena that far from rivals the United Center, where the NBA's Chicago Bulls reside.
The one positive, if there is such a thing when talking about Allstate Arena, about the space where the Blue Demons play is that if the house was packed, it would be an intimidating home court.
The one problem with that is DePaul has not put a good product on the court for fans to cheer about in about a decade.
8. Madison Square Garden (St. John's)
3 of 10

Before all you basketball geeks get all hot and bothered about the famed Madison Square Garden being so low on a top arenas list, remember this is a list ranking Big East home courts.
Not many people in the very passionate New York City fanbase are able to get excited about the Johnnies just yet.
Steve Lavin's team drew over 10,000 fans just twice during the 2012-13 conference season, both of those games came on weekend afternoons against Georgetown and Marquette
There is no doubt MSG is a great basketball venue for the New York Knicks and any major college basketball tournament, but for St. John's, it just does not create the same excitement level.
Hopefully for everyone who supports New York City basketball, Lavin can make the Red Storm a relevant team in college basketball very soon and pack MSG night after night.
7. Dunkin' Donuts Center (Providence)
4 of 10

The arena formerly known as the Providence Civic Center is far from the worst venue in the Big East, but it does have a ways to go to become the best.
Credit the owners of the building for giving the now-sponsored Dunkin' Donuts Center a facelift in recent years to make the venue more eye-catching to the outside observer.
There is a slight bit of tradition at the building since the Providence Friars have played there since the venue's inception in 1972.
The host of plenty NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament games has also seen its fair share of legends walk through its doors including Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan.
The one main problem with the product sent out to the floor is that every time it gets good, the coach is recruited away to join a bigger program. Rick Pitino, Pete Gillen and Rick Barnes are the best examples of that.
6. BMO Harris Bradley Center (Marquette)
5 of 10
Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports
Now we reach the part of the list where it becomes hard to rank the home courts of the remaining six teams.
The Bradley Center is one of three arenas that doubles as the main host for both an NBA and Big East team, and it does so in an admirable fashion.
Marquette has a long, storied basketball tradition that dates back to the Al Maguire era and it has continued during the coaching reigns of Rick Majerus, Tom Crean and now Buzz Williams.
The Golden Eagles always put a good, and sometimes great, team out on the court and when the team is at its best, its crowd is right there with the best crowds in the nation.
5. Cintas Center (Xavier)
6 of 10

The basketball tradition in the city of Cincinnati is no stranger to the fans of the Big East, but as the new season approaches, it is Xavier, not the University of Cincinnati, that will fly the flag for the Queen City in the Big East.
Xavier's Cintas Center, which sits on the university's campus, seats just 10,250 during basketball games and filling those seats is not a problem at all for the Musketeers.
When they were in the Atlantic 10, Xavier was always one of the best teams in the conference and its crowd was always out in full force, especially toward the end of the season.
Now that they are in the Big East, the level of competition will grow and for Chris Mack's team to make its presence known right away, it will have to continue to make the Cintas Center one of the more underrated arenas in the nation.
4. The Pavilion (Villanova)
7 of 10
Evan Habeeb-USA TODAY Sports
First of all, let's clear out any discussion that the Wells Fargo Center could be considered as the home of the Villanova Wildcats.
The Wildcats play only a handful of big games in South Philadelphia, they play most of their home games at the rather small venue on the Main Line: The Pavilion.
The 6,500-seater is one of the many small, but treacherous, venues to visit in the city of Philadelphia, a town which also boasts The Palestra and four other major college basketball venues.
Not many teams nowadays are used to visiting such small venues, which is why Villanova has a big advantage when they host teams that are used to playing in 20,000-plus seat arenas.
With the Rutgers Athletic Center leaving the league, The Pavilion easily takes over the title of best small basketball venue in the Big East.
3. CenturyLink Center (Creighton)
8 of 10

Creighton University has been a basketball power in the Midwest for decades now, and the Big East will now be able to see what great fans they have.
Ever since the Bluejays stepped foot inside the CenturyLink Center, their fans have had plenty of memorable moments to cheer.
From Nate Funk lighting up clutch shot after clutch shot to Doug McDermott's National Player of the Year-like play over the last two seasons, Creighton fans have seen plenty of fireworks while in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Now in the Big East, Creighton fans will get to show off their skills to a broader audience.
At home last season, the Bluejays packed their home court with over 15,000 fans for each of their home games.
Expect that crowd to reach its capacity of 18,320 every time a conference foe steps foot in Omaha this season as the Bluejays look to make an early impact on their new conference.
2. Verizon Center (Georgetown)
9 of 10

Not many NBA arenas can host a college basketball game quite like the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. can.
The storied winning tradition of the Hoyas dates back to the 1970s and during that lengthy span of success they have had their crowd behind them as well.
The fans of the Hoyas always pack the stands at the Verizon Center, and there is also plenty of room in the arena for visiting alumni and fans to enjoy a hard-fought Big East game.
While the crowds may not turn out for the small non-conference games as much as they should, the crowd certainly steps their game up when the conference schedule starts.
And as we all know with conference play, the home crowd can absolutely turn a result in the home team's favor.
1. Hinkle Fieldhouse (Butler)
10 of 10
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
No other venue in the Big East conference rivals the atmosphere, history and overall environment Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse has.
To start with the history, Hinkle Fieldhouse was the site for the game that inspired the move Hoosiers.
The small-school atmosphere Butler fans bring to the Fieldhouse also trumps what the nine other fanbases in the conference bring to the table.
With a capacity of just 10,000, Hinkle Fieldhouse is a place no Big East team, or any team in general, wants to visit during the season.
As we all witnessed with Butler's game against Gonzaga in January 2013, Hinkle Fieldhouse is built for memorable moments, and expect the Bulldogs to create plenty of them during their time in the Big East.
Which arena do you think is the best in the Big East?

Eastern Blitzkrieg
Topic of the week
Loss of Andrew Bynam to the Lakers, which became the key event of last week, predetermined increased interest in the protracted tour of the Californians across the Eastern Conference. Jackson's sponsors did not disappoint, as a result of an impressive seven-match chain of victories, climbing to the top of various lists of the best teams in the league. Even the away defeat from Utah (109:113) in the last meeting before the All-Star Weekend.
The key battles in the series of victories were the battles in Boston and Cleveland, which instantly silenced all the skeptics who predicted the fall of the Lakers after the injury of the main center.
Appearing in Boston Garden for the first time after a humiliating defeat in the 6th meeting of the final series (92:131), the Californians discouraged the hosts with a toughness that appeared from nowhere and did not allow themselves to be suppressed by a physical game.
"That's enough," Bryant said after the match, hinting that his teammates were no longer the whipping boys the Boston thugs bullied in June. Lamar Odom, who picked up fouls in the first half, came out in the second and brought 18 points and 5 rebounds to the team's treasury, putting an end to the match from the penalty line. Gasol added 24 points and 14 rebounds. Finally, Kobe himself not only scored 26 points and 10 rebounds, but also took an active part in the showdown in the style of the 80s, in which the game periodically fell apart. “You can't joke with these guys: they will certainly try to take your money for breakfast,” Bryant decided and openly declared his position to Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce, diluting his speech with vigorous hand movements for persuasiveness.
In a memorable meeting over Christmas, the Lakers broke a 19-game winning streak of bitter rivals. This time, the Celtics' chain of success was stopped at 12. True, two defeats from opponents in the finals did not convince Kevin Garnett. Bumping his fist on the table, the Boston A's bluntly announced, "We're the champions, uncle."
After hanging out in Boston Garden, Phil Jackson's team went to visit another contender for the title of the best team in the league. If Boston clung to the last, losing only in overtime, then the Caves showed almost nothing from their glorious arsenal and, as a result, completed a series of 23 wins in a row on the home parquet. After winning the first half by a ten-point lead (61:51), largely due to a fantastic percentage of long-range shots, Cleveland suddenly stopped in the second (30:50). At the same time, the same Lamar Odom fluttered to the fore, scoring 15 points in the third quarter (28 in total). “It was one of the best games he played for us,” Jackson described the enigmatic forward after Jackson.
He has shone more than once, but what happened today was incredible. He just swept away opponents with speed, making his way to the ring.
The long-awaited duel between James and Bryant failed again. James got lost in the clutches of the guests' defense, scoring 16 points, but at the same time lubricating 15 out of 20 attempts and then asked to pay tribute to the enemy. Bryant was again struck by the disease. If during the last meeting the number 24 of the Lakers suffered from a broken finger, then this time Kobe did not look like himself at all, appearing on the site with the flu. Wrapped in towels during the match and receiving an intravenous injection during the long break, Kobe endured until the end of the match (35 minutes, 19points, 8 out of 17 attempts) when he did vomit. It should not be surprising that he declined post-match comments.
In addition to victories in Boston and Cleveland, the team also brought the scalps of Toronto (115:107), New York (126:117), Memphis (115:98) and Minnesota (132) to Los Angeles :119).
Frame of the week
Transition of the week
Making their way through the cities and villages, the Lakers lost small forward Vladimir Radmanovich somewhere along the way, who fell out of favor with Jackson and lost his place at the start this season. The Serbian proceeded to Charlotte, from where forward Adam Morrison and defender Shannon Brown were received.
Radmanović's average of 5.9 points per game this season is the lowest in his 8-year career. Therefore, it is no coincidence that immediately upon arrival, the striker complained about the shortsightedness of the Lakers coach and criticized the shortcomings of his system: “Here I will do what I do best. Being a Lakers player is a great experience. But at the same time, you always get upset, because you don’t know when and how you will play. Phil's system does not give the role player the opportunity to open up. It's great for Kobe Bryant, great for Pau Gasol, but there's not much work for role players.
" The joy of the Bobcats newcomer can be understood: in two matches played for the new team, Radmanovich spent thirty minutes on the court, while in the Lakers he did not fall even ten. Accordingly, the performance also increased: in the match with Washington, he immediately scored 21 points. “It was easy for me to adjust,” explains the Serb. I'm still far from understanding exactly how we play. But I just find a free space, and the guys look out for me on the perimeter. The appearance of Radmanovich as a result of the third exchange made the Bobcats a kind of champions: 23 basketball players were played for the team this season, and the starting five appeared in 15 options.
Achievement of the week
On his third try, Cleveland point guard Mo Williams ended up on the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Consistent neglect of one of the leaders of the club was expressed in a mini-scandal arranged by the owner of the Caves, Dan Gilbert, and the players, who unambiguously expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that only one basketball player was delegated from one of the best teams to the game.
LeBron himself rated this as a "slap in the face" to the glorious team. At first, Mo was ignored by the coaches, who did not include him in the list of substitutes, then David Stern, who selected Ray Allen to replace Jamir Nelson, and finally, from the third time, the pleas of all admirers of the point guard's talent were heard: instead of Chris Bosh, who had injured his knee Williams will still go to the All-Star Game.
Whether their conscience bothered the leaders of the league, or they were afraid of public opinion, but immediately after that they favored Mo once again, announcing that he was to replace Jamir Nelson in the skill contest. Having learned about this disposition to his person, Williams demonstrated the wealth of the arsenal in the next match with Phoenix, scored 44 points (12 of 15 from the field, including 4 three-pointers) and 5 assists and showed that Devin Harris (New Jersey) ), Derrick Rose (Chicago) and Tony Parker (San Antonio), who will be his rivals, will have to be seriously considered.
Moment of the week
The week didn't work out for the Caves at all. First, Mo stumbled upon an ice block of neglect from league leaders, then James was deprived of a historic triple-double by rewriting one of the rebounds in the game against New York to Ben Wallace, then there was a desecration of the team’s defensive orders from the Lakers, and Finally, the Clevelands felt hurt by Joey Crawford's unfair decision. Or rather, the fact that he treated the status of the main star of the club with insufficient respect, allowing himself to reward James with a foul 0.2 seconds before the end. Danny Granger converted a free throw and Indiana won, confirming their status as the league's most mysterious team (96:95): The Pacers have beaten the top three NBA teams (Boston, Cleveland, and Lakers) while still languishing in 13th place in their conference.
The moment was not really worth a damn. The referees showed an amazing consistency: after the foul on James in 0.8 seconds, the King himself was awarded a foul in a similar situation.
To his credit, he reacted quite calmly, deciding not to focus on the stardom of his person: “Of course, we weren’t lucky that everything ended so sadly.” Mike Brown, however, was much less diplomatic, entertaining the venerable public for several days in a row with quarrelsome iambics addressed to Joe Crawford. “This latest foul is the worst referee decision I have ever seen,” Brown told the world. I can't imagine anything worse than this referee could have done. Disgusting whistle. This is how to steal the game from the team with 0.4 seconds left. It was very irresponsible of him."
“I didn't care if I was fined. I said what I had to say, and the NBA needs to do what it needs to do. I just said what I saw. The wrong whistle decided the outcome of the match. If you want to fine me, go ahead,” he continued to boil the next day. Brown's concerns are understandable. Most recently, Celtics coach Doc Rivers was fined $15,000 by the league for criticizing officiating in a game against the Lakers.
So Mike has every chance to contribute to the replenishment of the league's treasury. True, when Phil Jackson found out about the size of Rivers' fine, he was very surprised: “Is that all? I should have gotten more out of him. This is Boston." Maybe Brown also decided that 15,000 was not money for the possibility of such entertainment. In any case, we are all on his side.
Heroes of the Week
Last week's Eastern and Western Conference MVPs were Cleveland forward LeBron James and Lakers center Pau Gasol. James helped his team win two of their three games, averaging 33.7 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds. In a game against Toronto, the Cavaliers forward became the youngest player in league history to score 12,000 points.
Gasol averaged 26 points and 13.8 rebounds in four games in which his team scored four wins.
Dunk of the week
Scandals of the week
There were two scandals in the league this week. For all their dissimilarity, they have some kind of commonality that is elusive to the eye.
On the one hand, ex-Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor filed a lawsuit against the former club and personally against the owner Donald Sterling, who decided to fire him after 22 years of work. According to Baylor's statement, he "was unceremoniously dismissed from his position due to age and racial discrimination" and also "was paid much less during his time at the club compared to the general managers of other teams in the league, never having earned more than 350,000 dollars a year." It's also worth noting that in Baylor's 22 years as general manager, the Clippers only made the playoffs three times.
At the same time, Dwyane Wade's former business partner, Baron Richard Vaughn Houtman, could not resist telling the whole world about the orgies that the Heat player had in his Miami Beach home. Houtman also said he witnessed Wade smoking marijuana on two occasions, including once with a teammate.
“They had these parties two or three times a week. There were always a lot of people there.
Rappers, Dwayne and his entourage and the women they filmed at the clubs,” Houtman told The Palm Beach Post, adding a whole bunch of juicy details like mountains of empty champagne and liquor bottles, condoms and half-smoked joints. In general, God bless them, with the Clippers and Donald Sterling, whose reputation is such that it is unlikely to get wet, but the baron’s statements, which coincide with the claims of his wife divorcing Wade, can put a savory stain on his ideal image. It is unlikely that even a patriotic move will help him now: having received a cut on his left cheek in a meeting with Charlotte, Wade entered the next game with a band-aid with the symbols of the American flag protecting six seams. “He looks even cooler that way,” explained Eric Spoelstra. After Houtman's statements, hardly anyone will argue with this.
Team of the Week
Philadelphia is the Team of the Week, with the longest winning streak to date. “Philly” should be given their due: having suffered two most unpleasant defeats last week (83:85 from Jersey and 99:100 from Boston) and at the same time losing Elton Brand for six months, the “76ers” did not hang their nose and one in a swoop finished with "Indiana" (99:94), "Miami" (94:84), "Phoenix" (108:91) and "Memphis" (91:87).
The unexpected agility of the team, which many were quick to give up (18-10 under Tony DiLeo, 7-3 in the last ten games), elevated the club to fifth place in the conference.
Tributes of the Week
Sacramento vs. Utah's long break saw the unveiling of the number 4 banner under the arches of the ARCO Arena, under which power forward Chris Webber played for Sacramento for six and a half seasons. In addition to the player's relatives, the ceremony was attended by former teammates Vlade Divac, Doug Christie and Scott Pollard, with whom he played in the Western Conference Finals in 2002 against the future champions Lakers, as well as friends Kevin Johnson and Gary Payton.
Parallel to this, the Bulls held a tribute to Johnny Kerr, who has worked as an announcer for Chicago home games from '75 to the current season. The life of the former basketball player who led Chicago to the playoffs as coach in the club's first season (1966-67) is inseparable from the team's rich history and six championships achieved with Michael Jordan.
In addition to presenting a statue of himself with a microphone in his hand, which will be installed at the United Center, "Red" Kerr received congratulations from Barack Obama, David Stern, as well as Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen, who noted the contribution of the hero of the evening to the common cause. Kerr was known as the mascot of those Bulls whose every home game began with the 23rd number shaking talcum powder from his hands in close proximity to the commentator's suit.
Disappointment of the week
The Knicks, who went on a tour of the Pacific coast and ended up in a protracted dive, stand out as a disappointing team this time. Actually, the misadventures of Mike D'Antoni's team began last week, when the Lakers (126:117), Cleveland (102:107) and Boston (100:110) visited New York in succession. Defeats from the top clubs in the league can be easily explained, but subsequent misunderstandings show that the visits of the giants knocked the "New Yorkers" out of balance.
First, in a bitter struggle with the Blazers, the Knicks missed the ball from Brandon Roy at the very end of the meeting (108:109).
Then, having arrived in Oakland frustrated, the Knicks embarrassed themselves in the game with Golden State (127:144), allowing them to score the maximum number of points this season and surpass Orlando (139). And finally, at the end of an exciting trip, the Knicks managed to lose in two overtimes to the most formidable team in the West, the Clippers (128:124). Failures even prompted the New York coach to heartfelt confessions: the impenetrable Mike DAntoni told reporters that he himself “screwed up” at the end of the meeting with Portland, forgetting that his team had not exhausted the limit of team comments. What happened in the other two matches and in which city the Knicks lost the remnants of their defense, it was not possible to find out from the specialist.
Rumor of the Week
However, more than all the Knicks seem to be making the club's president, Donnie Walsh, who is working on a variety of options to turn the club into a competitive team.
It is no coincidence that the Knicks were the first to ask the price of Amara Stoudemire, the appearance of proposals for which was welcomed this week by Phoenix owner Robert Sarver, bypassing general manager Steve Kerr. Sarver, as always, approached the problem of initiating restructuring in the club from the wrong end, deciding to get rid of the only decent young basketball player. Not only is the league buzzing about how Sarver's not-so-sane actions are being made into a foolish light by Kerr and his deputy David Griffin, but the proposal itself deserves special attention, revealing the degree of desperation that reigns in the club. Despair, which can result in another trading embarrassment. So far, the leaders of the Phoenix are busy in active negotiations with the Golden State, Detroit, Miami, Memphis, New Jersey, Portland, Sacramento, Toronto and Chicago. It is the latter that are considered the main contender for Amara. In exchange for Stoudemire, the Bulls offer power forward Drew Gooden, Tyrus Thomas and Joaquim Noah.
Numbers of the week
In the week Kobe Bryant became the youngest basketball player to break the mark of 23 thousand points . Kobe did it at the age of 30 years and 171 days. The previous record holder, Wilt Chamberlain, took 30 years and 176 days. At the same time, 606 games were enough for him, while Kobe had already played 917 in the league.
Another interesting achievement belongs to the revived Memphis. With the arrival of Lionel Hollins on the bridge, the team acquired some protection and repeated the achievement of 49 years ago, holding back two opponents in a row at around 30 percentage of field goals (29.5): Toronto fell victims (78: 70) and New Orleans (85:80). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time the Hawks did this was in St. Louis, allowing Philadelphia and Detroit to attack at 26.9 percent.and 29.9.
Finally, despite a significant number of empty seats, Dallas posted a 300 consecutive sell-out, the longest streak in the league.
Strategy of the week
Continuing the theme of numbers, one cannot but recall an interesting situation in San Antonio. The average age of the team this season is 29.7 years, which forces head coach Gregg Popovich to make unimaginable somersaults from time to time. So, according to his decision, Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Michael Finley did not take part in the away match against Denver (104:96). Moreover, the planned rest day interrupted for Finlay a series of 284 games in a row. "It's hard for the oldest team in the NBA to stay fresh," lamented the cunning Popovich after his team scored 11 points in the final 45 seconds of the 105-99 win against Boston.
Transmission of the Week
Roughness of the Week
Hornets forward David West was forced to miss the game against Memphis for an infraction against Mike Miller.
Phenomenon of the week
Despite the fact that Washington's basketball players are more treated than they play this season, from time to time some of them, apparently tormented by pangs of conscience, remember what they are actually paid for and begin to act.
A small haze of this kind touched Caron Butler in a meeting with Indiana. Offended by the words of Ed Tapscott, who proclaimed "youth and inexperience" as the main trump cards of the club, the striker overcame the flu and scored 15 points in a row at the end, including an accurate throw under the siren. For once, the Wizards beat someone (119:117).
At the same time, it seems that Butler spent much more effort not on playing exploits, but on staying on the court at all. “I didn't want to sit on the bench,” he later explained. I didn't mean to show the coach how tired I was. Every time our eyes met, I tried to look as cheerful as possible. My main task was to stay on the court and overcome myself.
Dribbling of the Week
Quote of the Week
Antoine Wright, who was to replace Jason Terry, who was eliminated for a month in the game against Sacramento, was unveiled by Rick Carlyle. The Kings, who have already suffered 42 defeats this season, managed to beat Dallas (102: 95), which predetermined the special mood of Mavz for this game.
“We had to remind ourselves that these guys have dealt us a painful defeat. We had to pull ourselves together, Wright said. The coach came into the locker room and said, “Pip, beep, beep, get out there and beep. Well, we went out” (118:100). The wise move hasn't escaped the attention of others: while Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy agreed to wear a mic during the Knicks game, he didn't forego his favorite motivators: "The TV people will have to watch my language."
Block Shot of the Week
Tracey McGrady's episode is in keeping with recent news that the quarterback could miss the rest of the season.
Slogan of the Week
Defeating the NBA slogan “Where the extraordinary happens”, the SuperSonics fans who happened to be at the Portland vs. Oklahoma game once again conveyed their position to David Stern and other people involved: “Where the extraordinary happens.” the heart of the whole city is being torn out,” read a poster presented in the hall.
Video of the week
Waiting for the week
In fact, the whole next week will be spent savoring the All-Star Weekend, but after that there will be something to watch.
On Wednesday, New Orleans will play Orlando, and Philadelphia will play Denver. On Thursday, you can not miss the meetings of Detroit with San Antonio and Utah with Boston. Friday will delight the Lakers and New Orleans, as well as the Texas derby (Houston Dallas). On Sunday, Cleveland will host Detroit, and Phoenix will host Boston. And on Monday, the Celtics will continue their tour of the West with a visit to Denver.
Ten best moments of the week
Basketball
Basketball is played by two teams, each of which consists of five field players (in total, each team has 12 people, substitutions are not limited). The goal of each team is to throw the ball with their hands into the opponent's net ring (basket) and prevent the other team from taking possession of the ball and throwing it into their own basket. The basket is at a height of 3.05 m (10 ft) from the floor. For a ball thrown from near and medium distances, two points are counted, from a far one (because of the 3-point line) - three points; A free throw is worth one point.
The standard size of a basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world.
Basketball has been part of the Olympic Games program since 1936 (the inventor of the game James Naismith was there as a guest). The regular World Basketball Championships for men have been held since 1950, for women since 1953, and the European Championships since 1935.
International club competitions are held in Europe: Euroleague, Eurocup, FIBA Challenge Cup.
This game has reached its greatest development in the USA: the championship of the National Basketball Association (NBA) has been the strongest national club tournament in the world for more than 50 years.
Basketball is considered the national sport in Lithuania.
Initially, the rules of the game of basketball were formulated by the American James Naismith and consisted of only 13 points. Over time, basketball changed, and the rules demanded changes. The first international rules of the game were adopted in 1932 at the first FIBA Congress, after which they were repeatedly adjusted and changed, the last significant changes were made in 1998 and 2004.
Since 2004, the rules of the game have remained unchanged. The rules of the game are somewhat different in the NBA and championships held under the auspices of FIBA (world championships, Olympic Games, continental championships, international and national championships of European clubs).
Basketball is played by two teams, usually twelve people each, with five players on the court at any one time. The goal of each team in basketball is to get the ball into the opponent's basket and prevent the other team from getting the ball and putting it into their team's basket.
The ball is played with the hands only. Running with the ball without hitting it on the floor, intentionally kicking it, blocking it with any part of the leg, or punching it is a foul. Accidental contact or touching of the ball with the foot or leg is not a violation.
The winner in basketball is the team that has scored the most points at the end of playing time. In case of a tie at the end of the main time of the match, overtime is assigned (usually five minutes of extra time), if the score is even at the end of it, a second, third overtime is assigned, etc.
, until the winner is revealed match.
A different number of points can be scored for one hit of the ball in the ring:
1 point - free throw
2 points - Shot from medium or close range (closer than the 3-point line)
3 points - Shot from behind the three-point line at a distance of 6m 75cm (7m 24cm in the National Basketball Association)
The game officially begins with a jump ball in the center circle, when the ball is correctly hit by one of the arguing. The match consists of four quarters, each lasting 10 minutes (twelve minutes in the National Basketball Association) with breaks of two minutes. The duration of the break between the second and third quarters of the game is fifteen minutes. After a long break, the teams must exchange baskets.
The game can be played in an open area and in a hall with a height of at least 7 m. The size of the field is 28 × 15 m. The size of the backboard is 180x105 cm. From the bottom edge of the backboard to the floor or ground should be 290 cm.
The basket is a metal ring covered with mesh (no bottom). It is fixed at a distance of 0.15 m from the lower edge of the shield and 3.05 m from the floor level. The circumference of the ball established by FIBA standards for men's competitions is 74.9-78 cm, weight - 567-650 g (for women, respectively, 72.4-73.7 cm and 510-567 g).
