Watching SU in Big East Championship

March 16, 2013

We had a rare treat this evening watching SU play in the Big East Championship.  We do not have a TV on the boat and we rarely dock and have a TV available.  But things aligned tonight to allow us to watch the game.  We are docked at Emerald Bay Marina on Exuma Island which has a very nice 'club house' with a wide-screen TV.



Luckily Joyce noticed a Facebook post about the championship game and suggested we try to watch.  It is the first basketball game we have watched in two years.  Cruising is great, but there are definitely things you give up.

We even brought our SU water bottles.  We make a special effort to buy these bottles, because they are very sturdy;  most water bottles these days have been made very thin and flimsy to cut down on plastic waste.  But we refill our water bottles all season and need sturdy bottles.

Unfortunately after a great first half and an early second half 16 point lead, Louisville roared back and beat the Cuse soundly.  Sad ending to a game that already had a sad undercurrent, as SU and many other schools leave (or have already left) the Big East for other conferences.
