HE DOESNT LOSE FREQUENTLY TO TEAMS LIKE MILWAUKEE. HE LOST ONCE.

You are so ignorant that it is mind blowing.

In that case all ISU coaches have frequently made Sweet 16s.

If you think Hilton has "list it's luster" I suggest you get up to the next wrestling meet again Missouri. Plucky and tough underdog at home takes on another national power. Hilton has been rocking for wrestling this year. And yes, I was at the tcu mbb game. Even down 18 the place was ready to explode. Luster, yeah Hilton still has magic.

As someone who has had a bit to do with lighting an arena I can tell you that I am pretty certain that it is not darker in the parquet and balcony than it was before. It is likely marginally brighter. What has changed is that it is very much brighter and more evenly lit on the floor. This is good for HD and (someday) higher resolution television. This means that when the cameras balance for the light level on the floor the rest of the arena appears darker.
I can't say for sure, but when they first put those new lights in, it was hard on the eyes. I sit in row 1 for women's games and I was glad I wore a ball cap. But this year I either got used to it or they have adjusted the lights. I would bet it's the latter. I haven't noticed any issues at all this year, even when I forget my ball cap.

I'm very interested to know if something was actually done to take care of the terrible brightness in the front rows right after they put in the new lights (lamps ;)).
