Tulane vs. Tulsa |
With another whole week gone by, I thought I would be able to think of a couple circumstantial events to mention, but very little comes to mind. Nothing of particular circumstance occurred in class or work early this week. At home I watched some movies and wasted my time in other ways.Today, Thursday, afforded some modicum of variety. I tried a new place for lunch this afternoon, The Ruby Slipper on Cleveland at Cortez. The grilled sandwich I had was good but I now know I don’t care for sweet potato fries.There was no lecture in business law class this evening. The professor returned our exams and then dismissed class so he could attend a funeral. I was pleasantly surprised to find I did very well on the exam, even though my essays were apparently brief compared to other students that took a lot longer to finish the test.With so much time to kill before ballroom this evening, I went to the women’s basketball game which was already in progress. Tulane is hosting the Women’s Conference USA championship. They were playing Tulsa in the first round. I arrived with five minutes remaining in the first half. It’s my understanding that they could have been playing better, but the score was 27-21 Tulane at the half.Tulsa’s offense and defense appeared to break down completely at the start of the second half. Tulane opened with a nine minute rally, outscoring Tulsa 15-0. Tulsa finally scored a layup which started a comeback which made the game interesting up to the end. Over the final 10 minutes, Tulsa closed to within three points. Tulane stepped up again in the final minutes to win the game with a final of 44-49. The game ended around 8 o’clock so I still had an hour to go so I went to the LBC and sat with my laptop for a while before ballroom this evening…
