Saturday, November 29th has two opportunities for the Saved by the Bell 🔔 Basketball 🏀 but Snow ❄ might mess with the trip to Assembly Hall in Bloomington. Both Elijah Cox and Alyssa Ervin return to the hardwood today !
Morning 🌄 Brew
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Furman University and Randolph College will both be in action 🎬 later today, meaning Cavs fans will have yet another opportunity to cheer on our Alumni !
Locally, the plan was to substitute missing our first Duke University home football game in a long, long time with a short drive 🚗 down to Indiana University for the next stop ✋ on the Hoosier Basketball 🏀 History tour but the weather forecast might mess with that plan. Already looking forward to flying back to the Desert 🏜 tomorrow night.
Later tonight its more $5.00 NBA Basketball 🏀, thanks to the Pacers and their Golden Friday Christmas 🎄 sale!
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌….
Some Hoosier Basketball 🏀 History for the Hoop fanatics out there! When Jimmy Chitwood looks at Gene Hackman and says the line, “I’ll Make It ” , it was a line of a lifetime…

Sometimes when you visit a special place, it simply cannot live up to the Hype. That was not the case today. There were only a few Basketball 🏀 arenas left that I wanted to see 👀 and now there is one left on the list !
Wrapping up a blissful Thanksgiving Day with another Women’s Basketball 🏀 twin bill and appreciative of everyone who took the time to say Happy Thanksgiving 😊 to us !
