Day 5

We're home and the main basketball season is finally over. And our Mocs won the conference championship. So they'll be going to the NCAA tournament. It was a very exciting game.

Sarah and her two friends got here about noon. They were excited to get the chance go the ballgames. Unfortunately, Charleston lost both their games, and the girls were in tears at the end of the men's game. But they were so glad they were here to support their friends, and both gals and guys (players)knew they were there during the games.

The Charleston ladies lost to Western Carolina Univ. in three overtimes. Wow! Just a heartbreaker for C of C.

The Mocs had a 20-point run at the beginning of the second half that pretty much put CofC away.

Charleston played terrific games yesterday, and I think they just played their best games a day early. And they gave everything they had today. But that's the way it goes.

The girls are going to sleep for a while, then leave about 5a.m. to head back to Charleston - so they don't miss too many classes.

And we get to rest for the remainder of the week - and find out what's been going on in the rest of the world while we've been submerged. It was 82!! here today, and is predicted to be about that again tomorrow (which would set a record).
