Some pregame notes

AT THE HALF

Louisville down just 28-25. Missed layups and putbacks and the Cards wouldbe leading this one.
Shoni having a rough shooring first half as well.

The Cards have taken the Irish out of the run and attack mode and are still in it. Slaughter shining in the
first half and Burke playing good "d". Someone pinch me. .

PRE GAME NOTES

It is about 40 minutes until tip-off and the media room in the KFC YUM! Center is not hopping too much yet. Maybe they've gone out to the floor already, but I doubt it. 

Bozich from the Courier-Journal here, the Associated Press guys, Sean Moth, Adrienne Johnson and her mom, Kim Pemberton, Kathy Tronzo and a few others.

Food was decent today. Baked chicken, au-gratin potatoes, alfredo noodles. green beans and salad. The crowd waiting to get in the KFC YUM! Center was already lined up when I got here at 12:45 p.m. Hope it's a good one today! Tickets sold are over 12,000 and they expect a brisk walk-up business.

OK. Gonna go ramble around the court, talk to a few people and take a photo or two. Want to watch both teams warm up a bit and see where the assigned seating lands me today. Probably in the broom closet next to the visitor's locker room.

 I'm not doing any dusting or floors...
