Kentucky Gets 23K: Kentucky fans broke the record for largest attendance for practice at the school’s Big Blue Madness Friday night. Over 23,000 fans poured into Rupp Arena, besting the two-year old record of 21,600, set by North Carolina fans for Roy Williams’ first practice in 2003. Kentucky distributed the free tickets starting on October 1st, and the first 20,000 tickets were claimed in 35 minutes. [10/15/05]
