The Dance

[Dwayne From Minden]

It was 70,602 for Saturday.

Ari Temkin, who does a lot of work for SiriusXM, was on their College Sports Channel yesterday.

He said that normally at the Final Four these stadiums will use lighting to hide the fact that there are thousands of empty seats in the 600 level/nosebleeds.

But not on Saturday. He said it was really, really difficult to find an empty seat anywhere in the Dome other than in the very corner obstructed view seats that weren't for sale.

It was an actual 70,000 plus in the building.

I was in attendance in the 80's for LSU vs the Hoyas and LSU vs ND - JT let me down and Digger let me down...

One more story that's come out about Saturday.

The student sections are cleared out after the first Saturday game at each Final Four to make way for the students representing the schools in the second game.

There was so much interest in the Duke -Carolina game that large numbers of students from Nova and Kansas waited behind the student sections after their game to see if the overflow sections at the back of the student sections would have empty seats.

Just heard this is the first ever meeting in the NCAA's between Duke and UNC. That seems impossible to be true.

I am not a Duke fan, but kind of hope Coach K goes out on top.

ESPN reported Jay Wright just retired. The OG's are getting out.
