The LSU Tigers basketball and Lady Tigers Basketball Practice Facility is an indoor arena connected to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center through the Northwest portal.[1][2] The facility features separate, full-size duplicate gymnasiums for the men's and women's basketball teams. Each gym spans 11,324 square feet (1,052.0 m2) and includes a regulation NCAA court in length with two regulation high school courts in the opposition direction.[3] The courts are exact replicas of the Maravich Center game court and have two portable goals and four retractable goals. Each gymnasium is equipped with a scoreboard, video filming balcony, and scorer's table with video and data connection that enable instant replay. The facility also houses team locker rooms, a team lounge, training rooms, coach's offices and locker rooms, a media room, laundry facility and storage areas.[4]
The building also includes a two-story lobby and staircase that ascends to the second level where a club room holds 500 people for pre-game and post-game events.[4] The club room is connected to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center concourse. The lobby includes team displays and graphics, trophy cases and memorabilia of LSU Basketball. A 900-pound bronze statue of LSU legend Shaquille O'Neal is in front of the facility.[3]
