YEEHAW!
We stayed up until the last click of the game clock (yawn..) So excited. Couldn't sleep! I think it was 2:15 a.m. when I turned off the light. I told Dick we're too old to play championship basketball :) My neck was really stiff the next morning - I know it was caused by the tension of the game!
GO BLUE!
