Boeheim on Virginia: I'll be shocked if they don't win against Louisville.
— chris carlson (@ccarlsononSU) March 6, 2015
Crazy stat: Louisville has won its last 21 home games against opponents that it played on the road earlier in the season.
— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) March 6, 2015
Crazy the last game in Freedom hall was 5 years ago already. Great memories in there man. We shut it down the right way for sure ✊✊ #L1C4

Congrats to the lone senior at UofL; Wayne Blackshear and his accomplishments. No one will ever take that away. You made it. 4years!!
— Russ Ruby Rhod Smith (@Sir_Saudade) March 7, 2015
Congrats to Trez. I seen him work extra hard to develop his game n compete everyday. Always had my back. One of my best teammates!

UofL is 39-5 in their last 44 Senior Day games with an average margin of victory of 13 points. Two of the losses were to #1-ranked teams.
— Kelly Dickey (@RealCardGame) March 7, 2015
Last 2 times UofL was underdog on Senior Day: Crum's Cards beat Calipari's Memphis 65-56 3/3/01, Kuric led 78-68 win over Syracuse 3/6/10.

Seated for Virginia at Louisville. Quick impression: It appears the Cardinals’ plan is to drain the Cavaliers of their souls.

You don’t want this Louisville. If you win you’re a 4/5 and definitely in UK’s region. Do the right thing and lose out. Best for all of us.

Terrific patience by Quentin Snider on that lob to Montrezl Harrell. Waited and waited to draw guys in, then flipped it up for the jam.

So according to Vitale, if you give money to charity you can't possibly break the rules.

Dick Vitale's inability to separate Jim Boeheim's philanthropy and Jim Boeheim's responsibilities as a head coach is troublesome.
