Guess it's down to less than 1,000 tickets now. Should be very close, if not sold out. Can't wait.

Nice but it is Barlow that initiates the offense. Also the key for Butler will be defense and can Barlow/From shoot well enough to keep the defense honest. The defense of Butler and the ability to keep Villanova off the boards will be telling.

If the map on Ticketmasters is up to date, looks like about 1/4 of the third level is still available.

Last known amount was <700 tickets left. There will be a walk-up crowd. No event at Clowes tonight, so traffic will be slightly better. Neighborhood parking may be difficult if a number of people are holding parties. Sports talk radio is talking a lot about Butler considering Purdue is playing right now, IU a little later and the Pacers in about an hour.

FYI, 6,000 tickets remain for the Colts-Chiefs game on Saturday...so there must be plenty of things to do other than sports in Indianapolis.

Interesting game so far. If Villanova wins this early road test, they'll have a nice little leg up right out of the gate.

Butler not looking to lose this game. Marshall and Dunham sitting with two fouls and BU hanging around. If they trail by 5 or less at halftime they win.

35-34 Nova at the half. It's the highest scoring 1st half so far today. Only Seton Hall broke the 30 mark at the half (w/30 exactly) from the earlier games. Ugly...we need me scoring!

If this is close at the end Villanova better watch out for the clock malfunction.
