MSU v Duke

The second round of the NCAA Women's Tourney at Mich. State proved to be even better than the first round. The matchup featured #1 seeded Duke against #9 seeded Mich. State, who happened to be playing in front of their home crowd on their own floor. Duke led and then MSU slowly came back and took over the game, never too look back. Congrats to the Lady Spartans (for those of you who know me, that's really tough for me to say). A nice surprise for me was to find one of my pictures on the front cover of the USA Today the next morning.

2009 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship Round One

Haven't shot a lot of basketball this year, so this was actually fun. One good game and one game that was pretty much a blow out, but still enjoyable. Middle Tennessee State gave Michigan State all they could handle and MSU didn't pull it out until the last minute. Exciting to watch and shoot. Then Duke handed Austin Peay State a big loss and it looks like Tues. night's game between Duke and MSU could be a great one. Looking forward to that. It's always nice shooting in a venue with great lighting too.

Detroit Titans v #11 Butler Bulldogs

I don't get to shoot too much basketball anymore even though it is one of my favorite sports to shoot. So a matchup between a local college and the #11 team in the country sparked my interest, especially when I can shoot at Calihan Hall, which is an old fashioned basketball arena that has some nice lighting. Butler ended up winning the game, but the Titans put up a good fight. Looking forward to shooting more hoops.

Michigan v Illinois Mens Basketball

Another big day for the Wolverines. A poorly played game by both teams, but Michigan was able to put on a push at the end of the game and Illinois couldn't answer. Former Fab Fiver, Jalen Rose, was honored at halftime for his charitable work with the University and communities. Lots of jockeying for space on the shooting end, but I ended up with some nice shots.

Finally a win for the Wolverines. It was nice to see John Beline smile for once. Stuck with a shooting position close to the basket for much of the game, so it makes shooting a little tougher with the overhead light placement at Crisler. Manny Harris had another great game.
