Run and tell your friends: It's going down in the KFC Yum! Center tonight, as No. 14 Ohio State's men's basketball team takes on the nation's No. 5 team in the Louisville Cardinals.
Rick Pitino expects tonight to be the best atmospheres in the history of one of America's most prestigious architectural treasures, Louisville's KFC Yum! Center.
Rick Pitino thinks the atmosphere for Ohio State game here Tuesday night will be best in 4-plus years at KFC Yum! Center.

Of course Rick Pitino, forever petulant, couldn't help but use the opportunity to tweak his former dojo:
From Tim Sullivan of The Louisville Courier-Journal:
"I don't think Kentucky is a great atmosphere, I really don't," Pitino said. "I think there are 5,000 of them getting in our building. We get five getting into their building and they get 5,000. I don't think it's a great atmosphere. I would put that 10th on the list of great atmospheres."
I'll let Louisville and Kentucky continue their backwater squabbling; I'm just hoping tonight's B1G-ACC tilt bequeaths a level of play that doesn't disgrace the hallowed halls of the KFC! Yum Center.
