A quiet day between the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament didn't mean our third afternoon in Milwaukee wasn't eventful. The four teams left to play in Sunday's Round of 32 games at Fiserv Forum — Illinois, Kentucky, Ole Miss and Iowa State — gathered at the arena for media availability and closed practices on Saturday, with Illinois concluding the day just before 4 p.m. Unlike Thursday's shoot around, Saturday's practice was closed to the public.

Friday in Milwaukee was a tad warmer than Thursday. That was a good thing for all of the basketball fans who gathered in the Deer District across from Fiserv Forum to watch their favorite schools kick off their March Madness bids. Especially so for the Illini faithful, who outnumbered fans from other schools as far as I could tell on Friday evening. Even those from the rabid Kentucky fan base. The Illini crowd at Uncle Buck’s tried to cheer for Troy at the start of its game against Kentucky.
