ORLANDO -- I have no clue how the Tigers will play tonight, but I can assure you this will be the most hostile, emotional environment Memphis has played in this season. And that includes Tennessee and Arizona.

The people here are absolutely keyed up. As I was walking into UCF Arena, the students were lined up four-deep all the way down two flights of stairs to get in. With 50 minutes before tip-off, about 1/3 of the arena is already full.

Here's when you know this is the most-anticipated basketball game ever played on the UCF campus: I walked by a block of seats with "Obstructed View" signs. I'm almost positive they've never had to put that sign up before.
