<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Top-seeded Washington flew to Albuquerque on Monday, one day earlier than the Huskies would usually leave for a road trip, to get in an extra day of practice in the city's 5,314-foot altitude. The Huskies won two NCAA tournament games in Boise, Idaho, to advance to face fourth-seeded Louisville Thursday night in the NCAA regional semifinals. ``When you first hit the altitude, you run up and down the floor three, four times and you feel like you're exhausted and you can't catch your breath,'' Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. ``Some are just able to play through it, no big deal,'' he said. ``Then some others it just affects a little more. I've been told if you're there two days, three days, then you become used to it and it doesn't affect you at all.'' Romar will be visiting Albuquerque for the first time. He said he's talked to a lot of coaches and former players about playing at ``The Pit'' at the University of New Mexico. Romar was more concerned about coach Rick Pitino's Louisville team and its star player, 6-foot-7 junior forward Francisco Garcia. The Cardinals captured the Conference USA regular-season and tournament titles. </div> Source
I guess that's pretty smart. I live Albuquerque, but I can't go to the games because they have been sold out for like a year or so. But I'm hoping to see the players at the mall or something.
