As you can Probably tell, I spent my Tuesday night watching both our men’s and women’s basketball teams compete in the famous battle of lex derby vs Brooklyn instead of my usual netflix and Hw sessions. Having left America for 4 years i had missed the ambiance of a basketball game and couldn’t waitto get back into it, the music, the shirts, the Mascot and best of all the Super Hyped up Fans. The Girl’s game was the one i had watched in entirety, the crowd was cheering, we were at home and the players looked ready, but the result was a surprise blowout by visiting Brooklyn. Even though the game was pretty choppy at first, Brooklyn took over and ran away with it. Even though we were being bested and the final buzzer came closer the fans were still cheering with a passion. It was really nice to see this sort of school spirit when the team was down. In the end it was a fun night, that I wouldn’t mind experiencing again.
