Wearing my alumni handmade UR sweater from the Rose Parade (thank you again), I left the pups and Talulah at home to catch the Lady Bulldogs take on the Warriors of Westmont College. Knowing this is the start of a long Holiday break, I won't dwell on the attendance figure, but I will dwell on the fact that we have an exciting team and this was an exciting game. Courtney got in dubious foul trouble early on so others on the team stepped up and filled her scoring void. Allison poured in 23 points, Shada had 14, and Meghan had 12. But it was the last 3 points from Allison that shocked everyone. She hit a buzzer beater with less than a second to go to down the Warriors, a nationally ranked NAIA team, 75-74. Wow! Did that just happen in Currier Gym? Did we just witness one of many highlights to come this season? Yes. Yes. And the best part is that we play again tomorrow at 2 pm. Forget the Turkey Day preparations. This is good bordering on great basketball! Don't miss it. I'll be under the scoring table, a bit horse from my howling tonight but ready to stand with the pack tomorrow.
