This weekend we attended the WSU NSIC Red Baron Men’s Basketball Classic Tournament and they won! They will be playing for the NCAA Championship next weekend. I'm not a big sports fan, but it is a lot of fun at the games, so I got out my purple Mardi-Gras beads, purple Docs, and WSU tee and brought all the school spirit I could muster. It was also an exciting game for them because they just tied for the all-time NCAA Division II record of 52 wins. Langston University of Oklahoma set the record with perfect seasons in 1943-44 and 1944-45 and by winning the first five games of the 1945-46 season. So, if the Winona State Warriors win on Saturday, they will have also set a new record. (Thanks to the WSU website for details and photos)
We got into Lawrence, Kansas a couple of hours ago. I will be taking some pictures and talking more about the town over the next few days we're here. Right now, we're off to have dinner at a Greek restaurant and then see Pan's Labyrinth. We left a Winona of 16 degrees to arrive to 69 degrees here in Kansas. It's not the Caribbean, but it's also not Minnesota.
