The Pavilion didn’t have the sweetest goodbye before it closed its doors one last time.
Yes, the Wildcats pummeled the visiting Creighton Bluejays on Feb. 25, 2017, winning the final game, 79-63, before the Pavilion gets a makeover.
However, it was what happened after the game that stands out.
The crowd and the basketball team were asked to stay for a post-game video tribute to the building.
While the video began to play, a torrential downpour ensued outside, with rain drops pounding on the Pavilion roof and eventually making their way inside, invading the floor with a puddle at mid-court.
