We're in the arena.
Our boys are wearing blue. Both shooting right now in warmups.
Good send off from the hotel, about a crowd of 150 or so plus the band, cheerleaders.
Cords is here. Jim Harbaugh is here.
Team is loose
Lots of blue outside the arena but plenty of ucla and other fans saying go Marquette.
Dj and lazar hitting their shots. Barro as well. Trevor has missed a bunch
How is the wrist?
Had a nice chat with Joanie prior to leaving....same with Cords. Both very nice people.
Funny story, my wife bumped into Joanie at the mall yesterday but of course had no idea who Joanie was. So last night I get home and she says "I bumped into this really nice Marquette fan at the mall today". Well today she realizes it was Joanie and my wife and her were joking around about pretty good this morning at the rally.
Small world
Wrist is taped but he just hit three straight three pointers, then missed, then hit 2 of 3 more
Thanks for the updates!
Sorry, meant to say the boys are wearing white uniforms....I can't edit on my blackberry
25 minutes from tip off and there is NO ONE here right now. Building is very empty. Hope that changes. Lots of ucla fans at work yesterday were trying to dump session 1 tix so they wouldn't miss work
Chicos, I appreciate the updates. Keep 'em coming throughout the afternoon!
Mu fans out in gold....mostly.
So far, kentucky has more fans here which isn't surprising. Wildcat nation is strong
Mu band with the national anthem. Nice job. Both teams shake hands, crean and BG shake and have a few nice words.
10 minutes to tip off and arena still sparse.
Kentucky fight song now....
Great reports, Chicos. Keep up the live blogging until the NCAA throws you out of the stadium for live blogging!
Mu takes the court....2:16 to tip off
Tim higgins not officiating
game time. Still pretty empty. I echo Chico's sentiments regarding the sendoff. Harbaughs speech was great. I should be able to post it tonight or tomorrow. Man, where is everybody? Time to get a seat upgrade.

Thats a big sigh of relief...... :P
looks like a lot of gold behind the bench.....nobody behind the UK bench.... :o
from the box score view - looks like UK is going for the shock and awe from 3 pt territory
where is Dick Enberg??? :(
Are we wearing the new Wades? It doesn't look like it.
Mu crowd finally into it. 10 - 10
keep em fired up Chicos!
They are wearing the shoes. I saw online that this is a new Wade team shoe for this Fall. Look real good.
MU on a roll up 16-10...timeout UK!!
Mu crowd psyched up....up 6 points with a timeout
nice 14 to 2 run for mu
you can tell Hightower and Higgins are missing
why is brice playing
Mcneal looked like he tweaked his ankle. He's been too turnover prone right now
huge FTs for Barro
chicos - is mcneal ok?
Jack harbaugh's speech was terrific....definitrly post it. My camera only does 30 second clips so I had to cut it a bunch
Yeah. Mcneal is ok
Great play at the end of the half
not bad - up 4 despite matthews/DJ shooting 1-9
Mcneal definitelt hurt
Mcneal is limping a ton.
Need to defende this play...01 on shot clock
Holy cripes -- is it his ankle?
Huge shot from jerel
did he hit it from a wheel chair - is he still hurt?
He tweaked it on the wet floor...a lot of condensation from the ice under the floor. He was limping noticeably in the second half when he came out. Obviously he played through it but he was hurting
