Gregg Ellis, Mississippi State's basketball media relations director, gave the media the grand tour of the new basketball practice facility, a.k.a. Mize Pavilion, this morning. It's more of a visual deal, so I won't write much about it, except to say that it's got lots of glass and it's very, very nice.

The practice floors cover nearly 29,000 square feet, and coaches Rick Stansbury and Sharon Fanning-Otis have really plush offices. I took plenty of video and pictures, and I will be posting different video segments on my YouTube page throughout the day (and probably into tomorrow; I took way too much video).

Here's the first installment, featuring Ellis and Jay Logan, MSU's coordinator of Humphrey Coliseum – to which the facility is attached. Enjoy.
