It's always great to get to see this hallowed hall of hoops. If you have never been there and you love college basketball, you have to go. They have done a great job of making improvements without losing the old gym feel. Plus any place that names the court after Dr. Naismith and has Wilt's jersey number honored in the rafters is a cool place. Seeing a women's game there is weird because the atmosphere is practically gone. It would be like watching a high school football game at Lambeau. But it's still Allen Field House, so get there when you can. Plus, the new Sports Hall of Fame that's hooked onto it is awesome. Great old stuff with Naismith and Allen. Great new stuff with the Orange Bowl trophy, etc. And they just finished their wall of fame that could keep you busy for an hour by itself. In a quick walk through, I learned that Dr. Naismith not only gets credit for inventing basketball, but he invented the first football helmet as well. Cool stuff. Nice job Jayhawks.
Now to the game: That was a must have for UT. They made plays when they had to, and Erneisha Bailey's performance was key. Her 10 and 8 energized the team in the second half. The Horns hit big free throws down the stretch, and overcame some bad calls. Now it's on to Norman and another shot at the Paris sisters.
I know, you're asking "who is this woman?" She used to be the mayor of a town in Oregon. But not anymore thanks in part to this picture. Check out the STORY and I'll hit it in stupid news today. The question is who's stupid? Her or the town?
