Duke vs. UNC-Chapel Hill

I’m torn between two sides. Guess where I went for spring break? That’s right…North Carolina.

And guess why I’m torn?

Both Duke University and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are in North Carolina. I like both basketball teams and they are both in the NCAA March Madness tournament. I got a Duke basketball jersey for #5 (Mason Plumlee) and then I have UNC-Chapel Hill basketball t-shirt. But I when I wore the basketball jersey for Duke almost every single shot went into the basket at my basketball class. That seriously happened. I shot a 3-pointer without jumping and it went in.

I got the jersey and the shirt at the campuses but I got the UNC shirt at the bookstore. But I got the Duke jersey at a Duke shop. When I went to Red Robin near Durham for lunch wearing a Duke hat, our waitress said, “I did not see that hat!” But then I showed her my Carolina shirt and she was like, “That’s what I’m talking about!”

I also got to see where Michael Jordan played first before the Bulls. We saw the Carmichael Auditorium at UNC.

That’s all for now. I’ll write more about other parts of my road trip in another post. Hint: Mammoth Cave, KY

We lost!

I went to a basketball game for Northwestern University and they were facing Iowa. We lost unfortunately. We were rooting for Northwestern. The final score was 50 to 70. We were sitting  in a group of Iowa fans and there were these two people who kept standing up in front of us for no reason. At half-time there was this lady who did acrobatics and she jumped on a beam and did two flips and landed on her feet onto the beam. It was super cool.
