The first official word: Unless fans were on a players pass list, which was designated before the tournament or a member of the schools official party they couldnt watch Saturdays three tournament games, which began with a second-round noon game between Kentucky and Georgia.
The official word changed later in the day. Bloom said each of the five remaining schools had 400 tickets to disseminate among their fans. He said he wasnt aware of that earlier in the day.
Aside from those select fans, only team pep bands and cheerleaders, media and school officials were supposedly allowed in the coliseum.
