great opportunity for anyone able to go - Kentucky turned out 8K at the Yum arena in Louisville 2012 for a practice session. whole lower bowl was filled in 2015/Yum

any amount of Gamecocks would certainly get the attention of all inside, especially Frank/team when they run out on the court. feel free to arrive at 2 if ya can and remind our 2 former acc "aquaintances" they're in reenville this weekend.

Are there NCAA rules based on practicing at this point? or are these just for fans?

I ask this because we are about 1:45 from GVille.

I haven't been to one at a regional site, but I have been to several at Final Fours. Assuming they are similar, it really depends on the coaches. Some coaches run a pretty intense, no nonsense practice, others relax and treat it more as a slightly structured shoot around. It's really just a chance for the players to get some familiarity with the venue and get a little comfort with shooting background and such.

On a side note, I was in San Antonio for the Final Four in '98 when North Caroina was there with Vince Carter and Jamison and they put on one hell of a show during their practice. Was almost like an impromptu dunk contest.
