Well, it sure was a great season for the BYU basketball team, but it had a sad ending tonight against Florida. It has been so exciting to watch Jimmer Fredette win over the whole country with his crazy 3-pointers and scoring frenzies. Greg thought my head was going to explode tonight while we were watching the game--it was SO close and even went to overtime, just like it did when they played Florida last year in the tournament! At one point Jimmer's chin hit the floor and he started to bleed, so they put a bandage on it. Then after the next time out, there was another bandage, and then another, and another. It was awesome how they just kept piling on the bandages, and Jimmer just kept on playing. The whole team did really well tonight, but Florida was just too much for them. Our hopes were high when overtime began, but as the game slipped away, I was pretty heartbroken. But, it was fun while it lasted. And I had just gotten Greg to agree to drive to Houston for the championship game if BYU made it there! :-( I would say "there's always next year," but I don't think BYU will ever have another Jimmer.
At least we had a fun basketball party last weekend when BYU beet Gonzaga while Greg's grandma was here for a visit. His parents brought her over from Iowa for a weekend getaway. We had fun doing such things as visiting the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum . . . and watching basketball :-) Well I'm going to go mope around for a while, but my sadness will be short-lived, as we are headed to St. Louis on Saturday for Eliza's birthday extravaganza which will be SO FUN!!!
