– Surely by now you’ve heard that Freedom Hall, Louisville’s home court for decades, is donning a UK logo these days for Wednesday’s SEC/Big East Invitational. Aaron Smith dug a little deeper and wrote about the new floor in Tuesday’s Kentucky Kernel. Edward Browne, director of public relations and media for the Kentucky State Fair Board, said it’s the first time the UK logo has graced the longtime arena.”We’ve had some fans come by and take a look at it,” Browne said. “It’s been in good nature, and they’ve been pleasant. But they all say how different it looks now.”The Kernel has a very cool YouTube video below of the arena being installed piece by piece. Check out Smith’s full story at the Kernel’s website.
– After a scary knee injury at the end of Sunday’s Kentucky-Louisville women’s basketball game, senior forward Victoria Dunlap has learned that her injury is not serious. Dunlap was diagnosed with a hyperextension of the knee and is probable for Tuesday night’s game with Tennessee Tech. Dunlap, who has already missed time this year with a concussion, scored 17 points and grabbed a career-high 23 rebounds at Louisville. – I will be making the trip to Louisville on Wednesday for the Notre Dame game but there will be no live blog because of the late start time. We will have postgame coverage and video afterwards.
