The men's team has been a big surprise for me. I thought this was going to be a rebuilding year for the program with loosing 5 seniors and gaining a lot of younger players who don't have much college experience. That doesn't seem to be the case at all. The season has felt like the team left off were they did last season. The younger players are playing really well. They are gaining more and more experience after each game. They are so much fun to watch. As always the men's played a tough and demanding non-conference schedule. They beat some really good teams and lost to some good teams as well. The most important memory of the season so far was winning the Maui Invitational over Thanksgiving. Third times a charm for them. Right now the only starter this season who is a senior is Matt Bouldin who is still playing some great basketball. He is solid and has this team on his shoulders. Overall this team is playing some great team basketball right now so come March Madness look for this team to be very competitive. Right now they are 3-0 in the WCC and 15-3 overall. Keep checking back for more highlights throughout the rest of the season and definitely during conference tournament and NCAA tournament.
My favorite team right now has to be the Gonzaga Women's basketball team. This team is going to be the Cinderella team in March for sure. There is so much talent and experience that makes every home game experience a blast. I haven't missed a home game this year as my parents and I are season ticket holders. We sit in the section right next to the tunnel were they come out of. Our section has become the favorite of the team. The team has nicknamed us the "Rock & Roll" section. Each game the cute little girls that sit behind me and have become my friends want to get there shirts autographed after every game. I keep track for them so they get all players autographs. After a couple of games of I came up with an idea that has been totally amazing. I decided to make a checklist. So after they sign the shirts, they mark there name off on the checklist. Now it is expected of my to make the checklist from the girls and the players. Coach has even told me that I am his #1 fan. It is so much fun. Overall the team is so much fun. They bring back a lot of talent with 2 WCC players of the year and jst a great group that has great chemistry. Favorite player this year for me this is Tiffanie Shives. She is such an inspiration who has been through so much diversity so it shows that anything is possible. So just like the guys team, check back often for more highlights from conference play, conference tournament and the NCAA tournament.
Pictures to be posted from a girls game very soon. Many blessings to you all and keep it real.
