March Madness

I know the NCAA tournament doesn't start until next week, but there's already been some madness going on over here! Ty is playing in the competitive basketball league this semester. This is the 3rd year that he's played in the league. He totally loves it. We actually started hanging out our freshman year because my roommates and I started going to his basketball games, so I'm pretty thankful for the league too :) Anyway, last year Ty would get kind of frustrated with his team and coach and I felt bad because I could tell that he wasn't having as much fun as he did the year before. But this year his team is really good (they're undefeated!). Everyone is really talented and they're all goofballs. Ty is having tons of fun this season!

Well, last week their game was kind of a big deal. They were playing the only other team in their division that was undefeated, and they were playing for the #1 spot in the tournament. Ty was super nervous, but he did great! It was so fun to watch him play. I took a few pictures so I thought I'd put them up here. Sorry, they're kind of blurry. It's hard to take pictures of people running!

The game was really close the whole time and it was super nerve-racking to watch. A lot of people were there watching which doesn't normally happen, but it was awesome because it was loud and there were a lot of people cheering. It made it feel more like a real college game! Ty's team ended scoring and gaining the lead with 1.7 seconds left. The other team couldn't score on their last possession so Ty's team won!

good work boys!

The tournament will start next weekend and the madness will continue. GO KNIGHTS!

p.s. our intramural volleyball team had a game tonight and we won, which means we're playing in the championship game next week! wish us luck!
