college basketball is played on an aircraft carrier for the first time since 2012

The college basketball game between Gonzaga and Michigan State was played on the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier located in San Diego. This meant the game was held outdoors and it made for a very unique environment. This was the first Carrier Classic game since 2012 when San Diego State and Syracuse faced off on the USS Midway in San Diego.

Guys please make sure to read the entire title before commenting. I never claimed this was the first ever game played on an aircraft carrier :)

Gimmick games like these are why I love this sport.

This is a cool tribute that college basketball does. Hope this becomes an annual thing

The overhead shots of the court really put the massive size of the carrier in perspective.

“90, 000 tons and that doesn’t even include Seth Greenberg” J Billy a menace for that one

[superstarr]

This is so American I can’t even believe. Tears in my eyes

[alancorp]

Imagine if there was a weather delay for a basketball game

[pstuddy]

being outside with the sun shining down on them and playing on hardwood, it’s like a hybrid of indoor and streetball 😃

[michaelhutchings]

This is the coolest thing ever. This should be a tradition... And the camo + U.S.A. on the back instead of names is a nice touch.
Freakin awesome.

Awesome game, I love CBB because of stuff like this. Terrible final possession by my Spartans, but I’m really proud that my team gets to play on this 🇺🇸

[michaelconstantinemiranda]

As someone living outside the US and doesnt have a clear picture of how massive a carrier is. This game did it for me. All I have to say is damn.

One of the coolest things I’ve seen all year. Need to see more games played on different environments

Anyone who plays on this can then say they be serving on multiple fronts, for the army and the court

“We dont get a lot of blimps in basketball games for obvious reasons” is a great quote 😂

[jasonstraight]

The Military Industrial Complex knows how to put on a show. I’ll give em that.

[duck]

Why did I see "Aircraft" and my dumbass thought they were playing in the sky 💀

[matthewwalter]

This is like unlocking a level after you beat a game

[soulessshadow]

I'm not a big basketball fan, but I watched both this game on the USS Abraham Lincoln and the game played at American Family Field because these kinda games are just more entertaining to me haha. Thanks for posting these PSC!

[calebshapiro]

Im actually on the lincoln right now but had duty but was still cool cause i got to see a few players leaving the ship and a bunch of people got stuff from the players

[mikelucey]

The Naval Academy should play all their home games on board a ship at sea. Might be a genuine home court advantage for them.

It's good getting back to the roots of basketball it's like playing basketball at the park
