Everybody loses (almost)

This thing just isn't getting any better. I didn't sleep much last night. I'm about to wear this chair out.

All the support from Jimmie Fallon couldn't help the Mocs. UConn was just too powerful to overcome. UConn 103, UTC 47. That's what the expect from a #1 seed against a #16 seed.

In the Women's NIT, the Lady Mocs played the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The final score, in overtime, was UTC 76, UK 81. We listened on the computer. The commentator all but had a coronary complaining about the officiating. He's "our" announcer, so that wasn't too unexpected. But in the post-game interview, the coach said that the scheduled official didn't show up, and the referee in question was a last-minute substitute. Coach had the option of doing the game with only two officials, but he chose to accept this fill-in. He said that he guessed he made the wrong decision. We'd have to agree.

So now our personal interest in this season is over, except for the Lady Vols who play this weekend.

And, DAMN, I wish I'd get over this cold!
