We woke up at the crack of eleven to begin our day. The shower felt like I was washing in a coffin, but I got to see College Gameday, which I usually don't wake up early enough to see on Saturdays.
The campus of South Alabama was a hop, skip, and a jump away from the hotel. I gave a impromptu tour of the campus I have never visited before and we parked and got our media credentials.
The pre-game meal consisted of pizza. A step down from Diddle's offering of barbeque, potato salad, and baked beans but some food is better than no food. I ate about a pizza and a half.
The game itself was enough to give me indigestion. In the first haf conference player of the year only got three shot attempts, and by the grace of GOD was the game tied going into halftime.
After the twelve-minute mark, when Kelly got her fourth foul, I actually began discussing what would happen if the Lady Toppers got bounced in the first round for the second straight year. But fortunately soon after that the Mean Green was unable to buy a bucket, and that allowed Western to fight back for an eventual 61-53 victory.
And, after a pretty thrilling finish we know face Arkansas State in the semifinals after they beat South Alabama 53-52.
That about ends my day at the Mitchell Center, so if anyone knows a good place to eat around Mobile, please let the Tall Dude know.
