Duke 39 -23 at the Half in South Florida as Kira Lawson and the Lady Blue Devils look for a 12th straight W!

End of 1st here in Cedar City, SUU leads 21 – 13.

Why did the Wake – UVA score make the rundown tonight ? Women’s Basketball doesn’t have a large number of Triple Overtime games were 212 points are scored. I am sure that the 1,100 fans in Deac Town had a blast !!

Halftime score here in Cedar City, Thunderbirds of SUU lead, 30-24.

Duke & SUU win and now the focus is 100% on Furman University.

Alyssa only played 2 minutes in the second quarter and if the winning streak for the ‘Dins is to continue we need a second half rally…

70 – 62 victory for Ervin and Friends after they outscored the Bulldogs 22-11 in the final quarter !!! Five straight in the Win column….

Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

1 Thessalonians 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

I will add my own Prayer for the safety 🙏 of everyone on and around The Hill as we prepare for the most talked about winter weather in a long time.
