Last Stop ✋ on a whirlwind Day is the 7pm tip at Utah Tech but we are still chasing down a few stories..

Battle for the Top Spot in the WAC on the Men’s side…

Great deal of defense on display across the opening 20 minutes of play.

Headed to the lockeroom now with the score 28- 27 in favor of California Baptist University. Great deal of action🎬, just not a great deal of scoring..

California Baptist missed consecutive Free Throws in the second half, so we get to stop ✋ by Culver’s for FREE Custard 🍮!!!!!!

Last Media TO – Trailblazers leading 63-60 and things are heating 🔥 up !!!

CBU backcourt has 48 of their 63 points, both #1 & #3 got skills.

Teams just exchanged 3-pointers

Our guard 💂‍♂️ blocked 🚫 a shot and then caught the ball as it was going out of bounds a threw it to a teammate. Top 10 kinda play !

0:17.8 to play, up 4 and Free Custard 🍮 ➕ Family 👪 Time!!!

It only feels like all 1,943 drove straight to Cul

We are over the Moon 🌙 excited about Sunday afternoon as we will have Live coverage from inside Cameron Indoor Stadium for the Ladies version of our Blue is better than your Blue !!!

Mr Travis Osborne, after a great deal of next level negotiations, has accepted the Mission of providing coverage of The Game on Sunday afternoon!!

” My Daughter Mackinlee and myself are looking forward to it!!!”

We never stop our promotion of Women’s sports and we are excited about this opportunity !

Should be an exciting afternoon !!!

Welcome 🙏 to the most impressive Basketball 🏀 atmosphere that I didn’t know existed ! The students at Utah State University sure do put on a show in support of their Aggies !!

The number of college basketball arenas I have visited over the years is now well north of 200 and each experience has been unique. But nothing had me prepared for our Saturday morning 🌄 visit to the Gymnasium in Logan, Utah

Utah State University currently resides in the Mountain West Conference but is headed to the New look Pac – 12 next season and Aggie fans are excited about the pending move.

Was the atmosphere fueled by the opponent being rival San Diego State ? Was it fueled by the game being a showdown for the MWC regular season crown ? Quite possibly but regardless the reason why, it was AMPED.

Lin’s Jump Ball ( the one up top was hers as well)

How close is Logan, Utah to the Idaho border ? Close enough that you can smell the potatoes 🥔. The city averages over 50 inches of snow ❄ per winter.

You will notice that the attendance was 100% capacity for the game and there’s no doubt that the crowd helped create the victory for the Aggies!

The game was an 11:00 am local time tip so it could be showcased on CBS sports as a National game but the early start didn’t prevent the Student section from bringing the energy.

Current UVA Head Coach, Ryan Odum spent two seasons at the helm of the Aggies before returning to the East Coast. The UVA aspect was interesting because of the full circle 🔵 loop of going from the school that made history back in 2018 by defeating the #1 seed to a few years later returning to coach said team.

If you ever find yourself in the vicinity of Logan, Utah in the winter time there are two things you should do. Say hello 👋 to the giant Bull out front and get a ticket 🎟 to see the Aggie students support their team !

The Morning 🌄 after showed that the Price was right as we reach the 11th of 11 Utah College and Universities that have Basketball 🏀 teams !!

Yesterday when the Moon and Stars ☪️ all lined up to visit the Salt 🧂 Lake Seven, we also knew that Utah State University- Eastern was also playing a twin bill at home.

As was the case last night with Salt Lake CC, we had seen the Eagles play back in December, just not in their Gymnasium.

Neat campus and we actually had the pleasure of playing their Disc Golf ⛳ course that criss crosses the property.

The School is one of three in the Bee Hive state that compete at the Junior College level. SLCC and Snow ❄ College being the other two.

Seven D1, one D2 and 3 JuCo schools 🏫 spread across the four corners of Utah.

We were looking for a sign that going over to Price was indeed Right and as soon as we pulled off the exit of US-6 we saw it !

The two places sit across from each other..

7 College Campuses and five Basketball 🏀 games in one afternoon….Challenge accepted !!! Start the Clock ⏰ at 6:34 am MT

Watching the Sunrise 🌅 on the stunning BYU campus…

Game Time is not until 2pm but 7am felt like a Peaceful Easy Feeling

Each year for our Anniversary ( 41 years now) we try and plan a unique way to celebrate and this year it started at Elk Ridge, Utah at 6:34 am.

Quick stops ✋ at Starbucks for Lin and conveniently a Taco 🌮 Bell 🔔 serving breakfast was right next door.

A few minutes later we were parked outside the Marriott Center on the Campus of Brigham Young University. It was some 7-8 hours before Tip of the Women’s game but it gave us ample time to take in the beauty of the place on our way up to Logan ( Utah State ). We knew that later on the schedule would be very tight so the sightseeing happened sooner than later.

Stop ✋ 2 was just down the road at Utah Valley University.

Utah Valley University is located just a few miles down the road in Orem.

It’s sad to think that this School 🏫 will be remembered by many for one day in History.

One brief stop on the 2+ hour drive to the top of the State took place at a gas station ⛽. The drive was non-stop 9,000+ mountains, easy on the eyes 👀.

I was absolutely 💯% Blown Away by the crowd at Utah State !!!! No way it wouldn’t make any Top Ten list in the Country…

The Aggies ….11 am Tip Mountain ⛰ Time, televised on CBS

Next stop ✋ was in Ogden at Weber State where their most famous Alum is back as their General Manager.

3pm MT update : on the Campus of D2 Westminster University where the Griffins are hosting Colorado State University – Pueblo in a Women’s and Men’s Basketball 🏀 doubleheader.

Women played double overtime!

Earlier this Basketball 🏀 season I had seen the Salt 🧂 Lake City Community College teams play at a neutral site so we were swinging by to just snap up some pictures 📷 of their facilities.

Turns out that we stumbled into our very first Professional Volleyball 🏐 match between Salt Lake Lovb and visiting Atlanta !!!!

Between sets entertainment with a Jumbo Volleyball.

Salt 🧂 Lake 25 -16 in 1st set

Stop ✋ #8 of 7 took place at the Maverick Center where the Utah Grizzlies were playing their minor league Hockey 🏒 game
