Watch for a message from Rick Pitino on your answering machine. He’s making automated calls to all football and basketball season ticket holders. The message is simple: He wants the Louisville section packed during the John Wooden Classic in Indianapolis.

The Cardinals will face Purdue in the roundball classic on Dec. 15 at Conseco Fieldhouse. Tickets are available in five levels for the doubleheader: $65 for lower corners and end zone seats, $50 for mid-club level seats in the corners and end zone, $20 for upper level balcony side court seats and $10 for upper level seats in the corners and end zone. Tipoff for the game is at 3:30 p.m.

No, Rick doesn’t expect a return call. Buy tickets in person at Papa John’s stadium or call 852-5151.
