Nope. It's a ballroom. And it's where Kentucky, Stanford, Virginia, and the rest of the Cancun Challenge participants are, yes, dancing. (Sorry.)

From Kentucky Sports Radio comes these floor-level photos of the Cancun Challenge's floor, which has been imported and placed in the midst of a big ballroom with all the ballroom-y fixings: chandeliers, marble columns, that weird brown wallpaper you see everywhere in Las Vegas -- the works. 

Kentucky players have been complaining about the dead spots and cracks in the floor, which are probably par for the course when you stick a basketball court in the middle of a ballroom. But hey, look on the bright side. At least they'renot playing on this.
