Sweet Sixteen celebration. Before the game or at halftime? Trying to maximize time on Court Street . . .

With 110 floor show at half, I'd guess pregame.

For reasons I don't care to discuss but involve a wife, a 5 year old, a 3 year old, and a 5 week old....I strolled in about 1:55 and the entire ceremony was already wrapped up...Missed the whole damn thing. 

So if there is any video of it, please post here.

I don't know what I expected. I don't know what else they could have should have done. But it was brief. Hate to say you didn't miss much, but you didn't miss much.

Considering that you needed the entire team and coaching staff out there, that's about as long as you could make it. I'm sure the coaches would not have been in favor of some 10 minute drawn-out ceremony right before tip-off. I personally thought it was quite enjoyable.

What you missed in summary:

The team and coaches standing on the court.
A 30 second video montage showing our March run.
A barely audible PA announcer running through records we set (most wins in history etc)
Them unrolling the banner in the rafters followed by a splattering of applause.

The end.

I was disappointed because of my seat location, the banner was behind the speakers so I didn't see it drop.  I was hoping to see it raised or something.  Plus, the ticket office did a terrible job.  I bought eight tickets together and they had us sitting four in one row and the other four directly behind.  Why?  Plus the Will Call gave my tickets to my brother in law without his ID.  I don't mind he got them because we were running a little behind but what if it wasn't my brother in law?
