as you may have gathered from reading my blog, i love byu basketball more than life itself. well, almost. anyway, if you hadn't heard, last week we were ranked third in the nation. it's a pretty big deal.
yesterday afternoon was our last home game and it was the most wonderful and epic basketball game i've ever attended in my life.
my friend emma and i got up at 5 a.m. to wait in line for seats, but then my cousin ariel, who has an internship with byu athletic marketing ended up getting us seats in the very first row!
before this game, the student section had secretly learned a dance together, and during one of the timeouts, the music came on and everyone danced! all the other people there were so surprised. if you look really closely near the end of the video, you can see me and emma! we are in the very first row to the far left. [i'm the one whose long brown hair is swinging wildly....]
we were so close, which made the game 8798762356 times more exciting. all our players were on fire, and we won with a final score of 102 to 78. we are officially the champions of the mountain west conference! after the game confetti cannons went off and there were lots of awards presented. jimmer, jackson, and logan, our seniors, all gave little speeches. i'm going to miss them so much!
the best part of the day, though, was definitely when cat, emma, chloe, and i went back to the marriott center a while later and all the players were leaving. we got to meet jackson emery! he's probably my favorite player, and he was sooo nice.
byu basketball season, i'm going to miss you.
that is wicked sweet!
