WOW! There's really nothing like being at a NCAA game! What a crazy game!! The atmosphere in the arena was ELECTRIC!
The Tigers were expected to cruise through this first round game over Cal St. Northridge but this victory was anything but easy! The Matadors really brought it to us and didn't back down! Thanks to Roburt Sallie we managed to hang in there long enough to finally get things together and close the game out but it was a tense arena for a while there! Sallie brought in 35 huge points though and every time he took a three it seemed to go in.
The crowd here in Kansas City was great! We had probably 500 people at the pep rally this morning and hundreds more Tiger fans were at the game. We had some great support from our TRUE BLUE sections of the arena and they really helped the team hang in there when times got pretty tough. Thanks to everyone that came out and cheered your Tigers on to victory!!!
Before the game started and at the pep rally, the Alumni Association handed out lots of Coach Calipari masks and people really seemed to love them. We encouraged our fans to put them on for the first few minutes of each half and everyone seemed to get pretty excited about it. At first it was kind of slightly off-putting to see a sea of Coach Cal faces staring back at you from across the arena but the more people that showed up with them the funnier it got. Make sure you stop by to see the Alumni Association before the game on Saturday to pick up your mask so you can be a part of the Coach Cal Craziness!
We'll be hosting another great pep rally on Saturday so check with this blog early and often to get the latest information about the when and where of the festivities! We'll also be posting some great pictures from this mornings pep rally and some shots of our alumni and fans from the game! Check back soon!
