I got to check out the inside of Kansas University’s McCarthy Hall this week, and afterward talked to basketball player Perry Ellis about his team’s new home. When I asked Ellis what he thought, he started by saying: “Words can’t describe it.”

Pictures definitely are better.

Journal-World photographer Mike Yoder shot really nice ones that are posted online with my full story about the palatial, Jayhawk-laden on-campus apartment building, which the KU men’s basketball team and about 20 other students just moved into on Oct. 8. Here are some video clips I took on my phone.

Sorry it’s no personal walk-through with Coach Self, but you get the idea. Let the tour begin!
