Correct. The new/current campus was under construction when the ACC came into being.

I'm guessing Washington, which gives me a chance to reminisce about the time I accompanied members of the Wisconsin state high school tournament team from Baraboo to play inmates at the Federal Correctional Institution at Oxford. Needless to say, we had to go to the prison for the game.

Not a surprising outcome, men vs. boys. But it was a lot of fun going through the prison protocol to get into the prison gym (FCI-Oxford is medium-security, at least it was back then). The weight room may have been the busiest place in the whole joint.

The center on the inmates' team looked to be about 6-10 and 300 pounds. He couldn't jump, but he had an intimidation factor for sure. The rest of the team was pumped up. The outcome was never in doubt

That said, everybody had a good time. One of the more entertaining times I had at the News-Republic.

One night when I was in the slot, I got this prep file with a box score attached. I looked at it and one team had only numbers instead of names. WTH!!! Turned out to be some sort of prison school and we weren't allowed to put their names in the paper.

Imagine writing that game story.
"Huge game by 894657," Rockland coach and warden Carl Hoddeger said. "He just arrived from another institution last week. Can't say which one. One helluva transfer portal acquisition, I'd say. I may have to give some of my imminent bonus to the judge who ordered that other institution to reduce its overcrowding problem."
