South Carolina vs Duke

Should have to quality Hoops Sunday and Monday !

Even when you prefer a darker shade of Blue, it shouldn’t prevent you from cheering on the Lady Tar Heels when given an opportunity to do so.

The last time I watched a game inside of Carmichael Arena a skinny kid from Wilmington, North Carolina was playing in his freshman Blue – White game. That means I’m pretty old and today I feel even older than old.

Columbia University and West Virginia University played the opener and the Ivy League Lions played the second half at 32-30. Two guards for WVU combined for over 50 points in leading the Mountaineers to victory.

8:00 away from Oregon State at North Carolina in the #14 vs #3 contest.
