Kentucky vs. Portland @ Rose Garden on ESPNU

[chseagle]

The shot clock malfunction that occured near the end of the first half.

That one blarge you're talking about, from what ESPNU showed looked as if the ball only hit the backboard, & not the rim.

That other one unfortunately I was unable to view as was away from the TV at the time.

Or you mean the shot that, from my view at the far end of the court, appeared to hit the rim (it clearly changed directions but it could have been just the board) but they called a violation? (I couldn't say if that was or was not correctly called from my location)

While not sold out, the attendance was pretty good. Probably the largest crowd UP ever sees. While technically a home game for UP, the crowd was probably 75% or more UK. But the UP fans were actually louder.

Some obnoxious fan 4 seats away from me was tossed by security shortly into the second half. He was shouting profanities starting about a half our before the game when he got there and was harassing just about anyone around him...and they were mostly all cheering for the same team as he was. He didn't appear drunk at the start but certainly had a few by the time he was tossed. He wasn't gone soon enough.
