It Wasn't Until the Last Quarter that the Lucky Socks Kicked Into Gear (Not Mine, But Chitunga's Girlfriend, Alyssa's - She Brought the Magic)

What a miserable day driving to Gampel Pavilion to and from Storrs. It was a downpour the entire way and we were soaked going into the game, but absolutely DRENCHED coming out of the game. Prepare the head colds. We drove home damp, but happy, the entire way...Pam won $21 in a bet, so she was happy. Arizona State came to win that game and their defense (and offense) was spectacular, but in the end  Dayaisha Fair's 30 points sealed the deal. They looked like Cuse in the last five minutes, but it was a tough battle to move on against UCONN.

The Huskies have the hometown advantage. 

Connecticut, however, is under water. It's almost like we haven't stopped having these downpours since September. The ground can't hold any more and it was fascinating to see all the creeks and ponds saturated and flooded to the game and back (that is, when you could see out the window). 

March, though, is made for the madness of grading and that is what today is all about. That, and hoping my sump pump keeps doing what it has been doing for months.

In the end my socks (and presence) wasn't the lucky charm. It wasn't until Alyssa texted Chitunga and me that she was wearing her lucky socks that the game turned around. Best Christmas gifted ever...so glad I sent them her way for the season. 

Now, for another day of basketball. I teach Monday night, but I hope to catch the 2nd half of the Syracuse/UCONN game on Monday night. 

Wonderful to visit Storrs again, but phew....that rain was something. Could be worse...it could be snow in Syracuse.
