What's this?

I was in a tent outside Cassell

Camping out in bitter cold for basketball tickets. Probably Louisville or Memphis State. Found out about it when someone came to relieve me and do their shift sitting in the tent for a few hours, and they told me.

Went back to my dorm and watched the news coverage.
