For those of you in Memphis- how many UNC fans are there compared to UK fans? Watched the UNC-Butler game and didn't seem like they had all that many there. Is 75-25 a fair assumption for the crowd split tomorrow?

Based on being at Vegas game against UNCheat, where crowd was probably 60-40 UK, I would look for about the same type of crowd in Memphis. All the butt-hurt Memphis Tiger fans will be pulling for the cheaters.

Not many locals there. I was there last night and it was probably 65% Kentucky. I can't imagine that number would go down

And... I was very impressed with the UNC fans in Vegas. It was such a great game.

I don't know if you experienced this but the post-game was kind of amazing - lots of fist bumps and handshakes between UNC and UK fans in appreciation of the game.

Same thing after 2012 game @Rupp. UK fans bought me and my group a round of Pappy afterwards. Can't beat that.

Exactly. My nine year old was asking why is EVERYONE being so nice. I just told him they appreciated watching such a great game. And there was no reason for either side to be jerks. He replied. I bet those cheating cardinals would be jerks...he makes me soooo proud

I think some may be underrating the UNC crowd.

I was in Vegas, and there was NOTHING but KY blue all over the strip for days leading up to game. But, the split inside the arena was much less lopsided. I'd say 60/40 UK. I don't know where the UNC fans hide leading up to the game, I guess UK fans just like to show up and party early more than other fanbases.

Vegas was 80% Kentucky once the first game was over.

On Friday Memphis was about 50% UK with the 4 teams there. I anticipate Sunday will be about 70%.

Chris, listen to your daughter. Kids have a kind on intuition about these things.

Let me tell you what that little brat did - we're at the airport on sunday evening and she recognizes people sitting near us are wearing the UK blue. She points and says, "daddy, Tucky!" Then runs over to them, holds her arms up and goes, "ohhhhh, C A T S cats cats cats". They thought it was the cutest thing they ever saw. I thought about leaving her in Vegas.
