Gallery: (7-1-2020) Fifth Third Basketball Practice Facility
One of the top basketball practice facilities in the nation is on the campus of the University of Evansville. The Fifth Third Basketball Practice Facility opened in 2012 and provides identical facilities for the men's and women's basketball programs.
The $3.6 million, 25,000-square-foot facility, located on the west side of UE’s Carson Center, was funded entirely by private donors. It includes gym space, men’s and women’s players’ lounges, and offices and storage areas for basketball coaching staff. The Fifth Third Bank Basketball Practice Facility was the first phase of the University of Evansville’s new campus facilities master plan.
In 2019, the facility received upgrades for both programs. The player lounges added theater style seating that transformed the room into a video room that mirrors some at the top levels. Graphic elements were added in the hallways and gyms in order to give the facility an updated look.
