A week in Greensboro comes to an end with Kara Lawson and her Lady 👩 Blue Devils cutting down the nets after topping both #2 and #1 over the weekend !

Getting to spend three of the five days in Greensboro this week was enjoyable as it gets. The level of accessibility one gets at the Women’s Basketball 🏀 tournament is significantly higher than the Men’s event and then to have Duke University winning the event for the first time since 2013, simply capped a great stretch.

#1 NC State, who went from leading by 14 to coming up 14 points short, experienced quite the difference in the early stages to the second half. Now the top 7 teams will wait to learn more about their path in the coming days as the Big Dance Bracket 💃 gets released.

Chris and I go back two decades or so and we share a link in we are in possession of a University of Virginia degree. Chris earned his and I funded mine as our youngest of five 🎓 graduated from The Grounds.
