Here at the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas, the Southland Conference basketball media days tipped-off the 2007-08 season with the release of the preseason polls and all-conference teams.
ESPN basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla broke the ice with several jokes poking fun at a few of the coaches in the audience then gave a great speech that hyped up the coming season.
The Merrell Center is a multi-million dollar facility that is run by the Katy Independent School District and is home to the area's high schools.
The arena is nice with a layout that's similar to the CenturyTel Center in Shreveport. It's fan friendly with numerous concession stands, restroom facilities and is very spacious.
There is ample lockerroom space that can accomodate every participating team.
After lunch and brief speakings from SLC Commissioner Tom Burnett and Fraschilla, coaches were interview by several media members.
If you're a fan of neutral site tournaments, the SLC can't go wrong with The Merrell Center.
