It was a long basketball day for us - not as hard as it was for the players, but….
Margaret came over last night so we could get an early start this morning. We left about 8:15 to head to Knoxville. The first game was at 11 - #7 Syracuse vs. #10 Creighton. It was a close game, but Creighton won. It was an exciting game.
The second game at 1:30 was #2 Tennessee Lady Vols vs. #15 Oral Roberts Univ. ORU played a good game, but the outcome was really never in doubt. TN won by 21 points.
Then we headed home, and got here a little after 5. Margaret went on to her house. We settled in, changed clothes, and heated up the leftover Chinese for supper.
Then it was time for more basketball. The #11 UTC Lady Mocs played #5 Nebraska. The score was tied at the half. After half-time, the Lady Mocs got to a 9-point lead, but Nebraska’s strength proved too much for them. So our Lady Mocs’ season is over. It was a great run and we’re very proud of them.
We’ll be heading back to Knoxville on Monday evening for the second round game between the Lady Vols and Creighton. Then our in-person basketball viewing is over.
The 2014 Women’s Final Four is in Nashville, so we’ll try to get tickets.

I spent Saturday switching between basketball and "Mark Madness Marathon" on NCIS.
I only watch the women's games this year because our guys are not allowed to play. Quinnipiac came out strong, even had a sizable lead, but fell to Maryland's greater size and experience.
The only doubt about the UConn game was how many points -- for a lot of the game, Connecticut had four times as many as Idaho. Final: 105-37. 8)
