One More Weekend

Well, it's sad to say, but we only have one more weekend of home games! It's truly unbelievable to think that we are this far into the season. Every year people say it, but every year I don't believe it until it actually happens, the season goes by so fast! I feel like we just finished our pre-season conditioning last week. (Or maybe that's because those workouts are so hard to forget!)
We play TCU on Friday night, and Houston on Sunday. Now, all excuses aside, everyone needs to come out and support your Eagles this weekend. Find a babysitter, make a date night out of it (you can surprise your Valentine with 2 tickets to a women's game... what more could someone ask for?) and watch some good basketball. TCU and Houston are very talented teams, and these are guaranteed good games to watch.
An added bonus is that Sunday is senior day. These are the last two games Lesley Juedes and I are going to play in The Al (tear...). Sunday is the big celebration after the game, and there is a little video about us (I'll give everyone the inside scoop... watch us very closely at certain times during the video. I can't keep a straight face...) which you won't want to miss.
After this weekend, we are down to three conference games left. We will be at Saint Louis, Memphis, and DePaul. Then the conference tournament, then post-season play, and maybe we can still make a long season out of it yet!
So set your watches for this Friday night, and I will see everyone soon!
