UNI basketball game

Austin & I had a special treat tonight.  We got to go to the final home men's basketball game at UNI.  The Panthers are having a spectacular year and we've been following them all season.  Last week I threw Austin's name in a cardboard box in the entrance of the Waverly Fareway and the next day we got a call that his name had been drawn!  He won two free tickets to the game and got to shoot free-throws during one of the media timeouts.  He didn't win anything, but it was fun to be a part of a record-setting crowd (7,332) at the new McLeod Center.  Neither of us had been there since it had been built.  UNI finished the season undefeated at home and are gearing up for the MVC and NCAA tournaments.  Go Panthers!
