They will probably keep the ship in port. I would like to see the games played at sea. If the college kids can’t play on a pitching deck with a crew that large there must be a few sailors that could show them how.
I know the UNC players are excited about the opportunity. They are a bit nervous as to how the different environment might or might not affect their game - but they hope to be able to get there a bit early and practice and get used to it.

Are they going to put to sea for this game? Basketball on a rolling deck would make the game more interesting.
