edpaffjr.comOver the weekend I finally made it to my first Bearcat basketball game of the season. In my days living near campus, I rarely missed a home game. So it was definitely cool to be back to the arena where I spent so much time as a student. I actually think this may have been my first time catching a game since those college days, but I could be forgetting something. I brought along Kim, Trey, and a couple of Kim’s brothers. We bought the cheap tickets, and I was pleasantly surprised by the view. Turns out a friend of ours from the college days had tickets nearby and since it wasn’t overly crowded we were able to enjoy the game together.
The game itself was close through the majority of the first half, with the largest leads being only five points. DePaul was winning 38-36 at halftime. The second half was much of the same with neither team really taking a large lead. That was until the final minutes of the game where the Bearcats finally extended their lead to ten points. At the final buzzer the score was 74-66 Bearcats. It was an exciting game and we all enjoyed it. My only complaint about our seats was that it was very warm up near the rafters. Small price to pay for an evening of exciting basketball action.
