I knew tonight was a fan night. I could sense it from the very beginning. There was too much at stake to sit on press row and follow the rules about no cheering and acting as if you hate the world and have seen it all before 1000 times. Tonight was about recognizing the importance of the game and embracing my inner pulling hard for the team. The folks in the arena knew that as well. I am not sure that I have ever been at a Kentucky basketball that had such an “on-edge” feel prior to the game.
