Basketball Weekend
Categories: Personal
This weekend, watched a lot of basketball. Well, two games, which is a lot for me.
First, I went to the Big South Conference Finals here at Winthrop and watched Winthrop eek one out over Coastal Carolina. (Final score 51-50, for those of you who don't follow Big South Basketball regularly). It was a great game if you like defensive basketball and don't mind nail-biters. Coastal was very physical, despite their aqua jerseys. I'm kinda bummed this school can't even fill up the arena for a game that determines whether or not they will go to the NCAA tournament, but with only 7,000 students at a school that, until recently, was almost entirely a commuter school, what are you gonna do? I'm glad we're going to the Big Dance, but we'll get seeded 15 at most and have to play a Villanova or Duke in the first round. Maybe we'll get lucky and get Gonzaga again, which underperforms in the tourney. Maybe we'll get real lucky and get Gonzaga and Adam Morrison will get the flu or something.
Speaking of Duke, Sarah and I watched the UNC/Duke game Saturday night on TV. Good game. I spent a summer at Duke in 8th grade for some gifted and talented camp, so I've kinda rooted for Duke ever since, at least until I attended UVA and had another (crappy) ACC team to support. Now, I'm pretty neutral on the whole Duke/UNC rivalry. My 8th grade affinity has worn off, I know a lot more NC fans than Duke fans, and Duke has kinda become the Yankees of College Basketball.
Good basketball stuff.
