What a night!

Tonight, I have more to write about. :)  So after IU's amazing win over Purdue last night, I got to watch Miami take on Duke here in Coral Gables.  Granted, I should have been at home studying for the ridiculous midterm I have tomorrow, but alas... I could not stay away from a basketball game, especially when it features 4th ranked Duke.

My friend and I arrived early so as to assure our spot in the student section.  Not long after being there, she got a text from her friend... who asked us to join her in her family's suite.  So, the night started well.  A basketball game, in the suite, free food, beverage, etc.  The view was amazing and the basketball was WELL worth skipping my study time.  UM has had a rough time since starting conference play... we're also on the bubble for the tournament after starting the season at 13-0.  If you watched the game or saw highlights, you know that UM held a 10-20 point lead for a good portion of the game, only to see Duke chip away and make a come back.  The game was intense and close at the end... BUT, we were able to pull it out!  UM beats #4 Duke by 1pt.  (Would have been 4 pts except for an end of the game, half court shot that went in by the Duke player... thank goodness we had the 4pt lead!)

So, the game was amazing!  The view was great!  Box Suite was great (thanks Allison!)... and the company was a lot of fun too!  How could it get better?   Oh, by being offered two COURT SIDE SEATS for Saturday's game against Maryland.  How fun!?!?!  The seats are literally on the sideline practically right under the basket.  So, if you watch the game Saturday, look for Jaime and I... hopefully I won't look bloated! HAHA  

What a night!  Hopefully I'll have something more insightful to post soon... until then... GO CANES!
