Use ISO 800 print film or Fuji Neopan 1600 B&W. Set the camera on "shutter 
priority." Select the fastest shutter speed that gives you something around 
f/4 to f/5.6 . Shoot. Basketball courts are very bright. You can easily 
push the print film to 1600 but then a 1hr. lab cannot process it. Either 
go to a commercial lab or do it yourself.
