Another season has came and gone. It seems like we wait forever for season to get here, get out of the summer recruiting and visits, and just like that, we are back again. The last 6 months has been basketball, basketball, and more basketball. As always, we enjoy the ride and see where we will end up at the end of the season. This year, brought us back to the Conference Tournament in Las Vegas, a place I never complain about heading. I was able to spend the week in Las Vegas with both my parents and Keith's and continue to enjoy what a fun place it is.
This year we went about Las Vegas a little differently. Yes, we still made it down to the strip and were able to enjoy the life down there, but with Keith's team staying at the Hard Rock (a couple blocks from the strip and across from our Resort) we lived another type of Vegas life. We were able to enjoy the less traffic, laid back, relaxing kind of time.
Fresno State Women played Tuesday evening and got a win against Utah State to start off our tournament. We went 15-3 this year in conference and were the number 2 seed coming in. Wednesday night we played UNLV, with a tough home crowd, and pulled out another victory! That led us into the Conference Championship Game on Friday. First of all though, we had to cheer on our boys team who were also coming in to the tournament as a 2 seed behind the San Diego State Aztecs, who are always known for a rough and tough team. Our boys continued to win as well, and were able to play in the Conference Championship game on Saturday.
Our women played Colorado State, who at 32-1 coming into the game, we knew would be a tough game. Our girls played their hearts out, were up the entire game, and lost within the last 3 seconds of the game. Although it was heartbreaking to watch, it was such a fun year to watch these girls fight till the final second. They had a fight in them that continued and led them to finishing the year on a 18-3 run before losing in the 2nd round to a very tough Oregon team.
Our boys went on to win the Mountain West Championship Game! They were able to continue their luck to the Big Dance in Denver, playing Utah, where we fell short. What a great season for Coach Terry and the Dogs!
