#2 Vanderbilt University and #6 Notre Dame kick off the four straight games today. The Fighting Irish upset #3 Ohio State to get the opportunity, and Miss Hidalgo gives them a fighting chance.
The Atlantic Coast Conference has five of the 16 spots, but it will be an uphill challenge for any of the teams to make it to Phoenix for the Final Four.
We’ll have to take a break in the coverage when it’s time to head to The Hill to announce the softball games.
Vanderbilt is a great story as the Duke University of the SEC has made made tremendous progress in each of the Big 3 sports.
The Commodores hosted Furman University in their second game of the season.
Alyssa Ervin dropped 16 points on the #2 seeded team back in early November!
Notre Dame has an advantage in experience, and the crowd up in Columbus, Ohio, when they beat OSU, will have them ready for any noise in Fort Worth.
Irish on an 11-0 run over five minutes, which gives them a 13 – 5 lead, but it’s still really early.
Coverage off and on until the end of the Duke – LSU game around Midnight.
Β Tennis πΎ courts and rain π§ simply don’t mix from a safety standpoint.
Baseball and softball games can be played in a small amount of rain, but that doesn’t necessarily make it fun to do so.
Soccer β½οΈ can handle a decent amount of rain, but the field needs to stand up to the test of having four teams play on it across the season.
4 Diamond π games, 3 soccer matches and two tennis matches are set to be βοΈ today between The Hill and Dublin. Both Athletic Directors are now stuck in wait and see mode as there is nothing left to do but look up into the sky and wait.
Softball made the switch from JV first to Varsity first and pushed the start time up to 4:45 in hopes of getting enough of a heads start.
Hopefully, all the spectators are up to date on this change.
It had been a hot π₯ minute since my neighbor & friend, Kris Richardson, and I were able to sit down together. So when we were able to squeeze in sometime in between the end of his work shift and the start of my announcing the Boys Soccer β½οΈ match, it was a must do !
Life continues to happen for both of us at a laser fast pace, with Kris having Gracie to keep him young. Whether it’s basketball, soccer, or softball, the youngest of the Richardson children enjoys playing a game or two. The older two children are enjoying college life, and while we weren’t trying to recreate the wheel , the 45 minutes was highly therapeutic to say the least.
