The Big Game is on ABC here in just a bit and we have two members of the Travis Osborne πŸ‘ͺ about to both absorb and later report on the action πŸŽ¬!

#Kindness

This smiling face captured our Jump Ball !!!!!

Little One has Skillz!

On a final note, a very nice Security Guard gave Mackinlee some Official Duke rain wear as we were exiting the stadium 🏟 πŸ˜€

Some thoughts from Travis during the game :

End of 1st quarter Duke-19 UNC-18.

3:34 to go in the first half. UNC up by 3, 31-28

Duke with a Big Rally to capture the lead 41-33 at the half.πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ€πŸ€

Media TO 4:32 in the 3rd quarter. Duke holds the lead @ 47-41.

This place is ELECTRIC!!!

A rally by the Heels late in the 3rd quarter puts us going into the final quarter with Duke-58, UNC-54. IT’S Gonna be a Wild Finish!!!

An offensive foul followed by a Technical on UNC has turned this place “CRAZY”!!

4:41 to go in regulation Duke-67, UNC-61.

A TREMENDOUS ballgame from start to finish!!!! Congratulations to the Lady Blue Devils on their 72-68 Victory over UNC.β€οΈπŸ€

    Now it’s time to head for the Mountains!!!
