Saturday morning here at the Gaylord Center and the media crowd has dispersed.  All the local Tennessee media, who used this trip as a chance to take a free trip to Nashville and eat medicore meals have gone home and left the Kentucky media and a few other randoms.  The crowd outside is HUGE and loaded with Kentucky fans.  Tickets are going for a substantial amount of money and it is looking as if the crowd is going to skew blue in the largest way.  Decent number of Florida fans in the crowd, but this is Rupp South....only with fans who will actually cheer.

Hope you enjoyed some of the audio links and we will have more stuff for you throughout the day.
