Haven't Filled Out Brackets in Years, But Doing My Part By Heading to Storrs Today to Cheer On @CuseWBB & @CuseCoachJack

We'll be bringing our rain gear and cheer as we head to UCONN today to watch Syracuse Women's Basketball in the first game of their tournament. UCONN plays first against Jackson State, which follows with Syracuse against Arizona. I figured, "I might as well see at least one game since it's in the same state," and the entourage will be heading out soon. 

The Lady Cards were upset yesterday and are out of the tournament, so now it is time to be 100% behind the Orange. I've been cheering on my alma maters for years, and always bite nails when they play each other.

I spent all day yesterday in my writing chair watching the first round of men's and women's games, all the while working through grants, organizing National Writing Project work, and setting to-do lists ahead for the wonderful investment I'm able to make with writers in southern Connecticut.

Karal and I did get our walk in. I need such therapy. 

It's been a minute since I've been to Storrs, and a few years ago the Huskies played in Bridgeport during tournament time, and I did catch those games. There's nothing better than being in the arena and I'm hoping for a great day of action...leaving the Sunday games for the television (as I'm guessing the Monday games will be that much better....yikes, likely with the home crowd of UCONN).

Go, Syracuse! You got this! Your season has been wonderful to follow from afar, and I'm glad I got to live a few of the games through Chitunga's girlfriend, as I got her tickets for Christmas. They one each and every time, and I'm hoping the same will be true for my crew today.
