UNO 84

Kind of a bad loss. This was the Privateers first road win of the year.

My daughter and I decided to go last minute. You couldn't miss us because we were the only Pit Crew in the Pit Crew section. The UNO girls were a lot of fun. We got under the skin pretty quick. We kept it very clean and very friendly. The coach and trainers kept telling the 2 girls on the end to stop talking to us, but they couldn't stop talking back to us. During the 2nd half, the UNO girls really lightened up and were throwing jokes back and forth with us. These girls even got into exchanges with the band and cheerleaders.... all and all a good time.

Too bad the Mean Green lost this one... What is it with free throws this week??? Had the girls made their free throw shots, it would have been much more of a game.

I drove up from Plano to see this one. Though I normally sit with the pit crew, I opted to sit center court about halfway up. To be honest, I almost fell asleep...they smothered every attempt we made to get back into it. Kudos to new orleans...in a couple years they won't be able to beat us though!

in a couple years they won't be able to beat us though!

Coach Champion has been building this program back up from scratch for the last couple years, especially post-Katrina. A few years ago we couldn't bring the ball past half court without turning it over. Now we're able to take a conference road win. Yeah, this was our first road win but we have been REAL close to winning the last few road games. The recruiting really seems to be taking hold and in a year or two I have confidence Champion will have us competing at the top of the West. We could be a real interesting team this year if we can steal another road win or two.

Best of luck to you guys.
