Now this is a crowd. Ten minutes before tip-off, the Joyce Center is almost completely full, including a mass of the student section. Notre Dame is going through its senior day festivities now, having announced senior managers P.J. Morrison and Bridget Trainor along with walk-on Kieran Piller.
A fairly loud ovation for senior guard Russell Carter, whose mom was wrapping his arm around him. The student section is chanting "Russell Carter," as they announce his major and dual minor.
When announcing Colin Falls for senior day, the student section booed Syracuse guard Gerry McNamara. Falls is four 3-pointers from breaking McNamara's Big East 3-pointers made record. When they announced Falls, the whole Joyce Center went bonkers.
Carter hugged his dad and ran back to the locker room for final preparations. This game is going to be a good one.
