Talking at the HoF Classic, Denny Crum said the top three players he coached were Darrell Griffith, Rodney McCray and Pervis Ellison.

Presumably in for a name-brand Hall of Fame Tipoff title game. UNC beat Richmond 82-72. Marcus Paige scored 26 for the Heels.

Casina > Pitina.

#UofL starters still the same: Jones-Smith-Blackshear-Harrell-Van Treese. Fairfield starting 6-1, 6-3, 6-5, 6-6, 6-8. Similarly sized teams.

Roy Williams: "Rick Pitino is one of the great coaches in our game at any level. And he has a great group of players that does what he asks"
— Eric Crawford (@ericcrawford) November 23, 2013
Very, very vocal Fairfield students here. Booing #UofL's starters.

Malcolm Huckaby has mentioned wanting popcorn twice before the first TV timeout.
— SMA (@doctorofdunk) November 23, 2013
This is the type of game where underdog normally feeds off crowd and makes buckets early while UL sleepwalks. Fortunately, Fairfield sucks.
— SMA (@doctorofdunk) November 23, 2013
Rick Pitino absolutely letting Russ Smith have it on the bench. "You leap to pass?! What are you doing?"
— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) November 23, 2013
Two air-balled three's for Louisville followed by a Fairfield jumper. Timeout for Pitino. Cards trail 2-6. Just 2 PTS 6 1/2 minutes in.
— Nick Coffey (@TheCardConnect) November 23, 2013
Did we have a shootaround?
— SMA (@doctorofdunk) November 23, 2013
See Louisville fans, this is what happens when Kevin and Chane don't drive nice cars!
— Andy Sweeney (@TheOnlySweeney) November 23, 2013
Chris Jones sloppy with ball, Q re-decommits. Chris Jones coast-to-coast lay-in, Snider re-recommits.
— SMA (@doctorofdunk) November 23, 2013
I didn't look at the Hartford game, but Luke Hancock has the kinesio tape on his left leg again for Achilles' tendon support.
— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) November 23, 2013
HALF: #UofL 37, Fairfield 23. Slow start for the #Cards but end on a 17-5 run. Fairfield made 3 FGs over the final 11:55 of the half.
— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) November 23, 2013
So many levels to the Louisville pressure. It is the cumulative affect that wears teams down
— Seth Greenberg (@SethOnHoops) November 23, 2013
They're down 16, but Fairfield tends to do a good job of muddying things up against most opponents.

The ball getting stuck on the basket is a much bigger deal when I'm playing basketball with my friends.
— Paul Peavler (@CardMeHD) November 23, 2013
Montrezl Harrell and Fairfield KJ Rose both somehow managed to not kill a mom and her three under-10 kids while diving into their seats.
— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) November 23, 2013
The depth Louisville has in hoops is why I love this team. Behanan & Luke came i to the game & I went, "oh shit...we have them too!"
— doctor derpso (@Pile_of_Derp) November 23, 2013
@ULhothot seriously. Nancy Lieberman is cool and all, but so is Russ Smith. I'll watch Thunder halftime shows if I want 20 minutes of her.
— D.A. Helderman (@DAHeld12) November 23, 2013
Blackshear angry. Was grabbing the rebound, Russ Smith came flying in and knocked it away. Blackshear with 5 rebounds this half, I believe.
— Eric Crawford (@ericcrawford) November 23, 2013
Montrezl Harrell has 14 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks. I think he might be America's most versatile player. So Draymond Green-like
— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) November 23, 2013
Mop-up time for #Louisville, though a Fairfield 3 has cut it to 64-49. TV time at 3:23, #UofL 64, Fairfield 49. Blackshear shooting FTs.
— Eric Crawford (@ericcrawford) November 23, 2013
#UofL shooting just 36%, but has forced 18 Fairfield turnovers. Thus, a 17 point lead with 3min left.
— Steve Andress (@steveandress) November 23, 2013
So far, heckling kid has failed to fake out the Louisville players on a 10-second countdown and failed at distracting Wayne Blackshear.
— SMA (@doctorofdunk) November 23, 2013
Players Rick Pitino has chewed out today: Russ Smith, Chris Jones, Wayne Blackshear, Chane Behanan, Stephan Van Treese, Montrezl Harrell, Ti
— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) November 23, 2013
FINAL: #UofL 71, Fairfield 57. Chris Jones had 15 points, Montrezl Harrell had 14 and 13. But this one was no fun for Rick Pitino.
— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) November 23, 2013
#Louisville will face North Carolina on Sunday at 1 p.m.
