Cool Photo: Sparty and NC State play B-ball on an aircraft carrier

[Flood]

This is a photo from the most recent "Carrier Classic". I don't know much about this event, or how often it occurs, but it seems very cool and a bit surreal. Over 8k US Navy personnel watched this game. Anyone know if NU has ever done something similar? Seems it would be an amazing trip for the players.

Edit: Of course, its NC. Thanks to the multitudes for pointing out the mistake.

Why the hell would our basketball team get invited to a Carrier Classic? We couldn't hit the water if we threw the ball off the boat.

Cool pic, though.

Didn't they call this game because the court was getting wet?

And it was 2 years ago. Last year's addition was in a Hangar in Germany I think.

Ohio State was supposed to play in it this year (can't remember who they were gonna play) and it got called off, due to weather, I believe. I think the MSU/UNC game went the full time.

a bit surreal.

That about sums it up. It almost seems like a really good photoshopped image.
