I have a bad head / chest cold. I woke up feeling a little sluggish - and it had gotten worse as the day goes on. Must have picked it up at the basketball game last night.
Basketball
I think State will be a solid NIT team this year. Not quite good enough for the NCAA, but close.
We should have won last night over Missouri (ranked 25th). It was such a close game at the end. The only time the game wasn't close, was when State had a big lead.
It's easy to blame referees for a team's misfortunes, but last night, it really was the case. For some reason, State got 11 more fouls (i think it was 11) than Missouri. And it was not because State was causing more fouls or because Missouri was playing better - it was because of inept refs. Worst officiated game I've seen in years.
Even still - if State had been able to make our own foul shots (missed the front end of 3 one and one's at the end), had one or two 3 pointers drop, or if Anthony Barber had just made a couple of more field goals (2 of 11 - awful) - we'd have won the game in spite of the refs.
State is a fun team to watch. I really enjoy watching these kids play.
Christmas
Went to NoVa for a couple days. It was good to see the family.
It's also good to be back home.
Work
Plan on being back to work tomorrow - hopefully I'll feel better in the morning.
