Ja’Mee Asberry is happy she doesn’t feel like she is in timeout when she goes to the bench.
Because of COVID-19 protocols enforced by the Big 12 conference, the chairs that form team benches inside Gallagher-Iba Arena are spread out 6 feet from each other and extend in an L shape from the baseline to the scorer’s table.
Asberry, a junior point guard for the OSU Cowgirl basketball team, whose assigned chair for the season is along the baseline where the student section used to be, thinks she got lucky.
“I kind of like being by the student section,” Asberry said.
