I'm very excited right now because the Iowa State Cyclones just defeated Baylor 74-65 to win the Big 12 tournament championship! This is only the second time that Iowa State has won the Big 12 tournament, the first since the 1999-2000 season. Iowa State trailed for most of the game but ended up finding enough ways to score on the pesky Baylor zone defense down the stretch to pull out the win! Five Cyclones finished scoring in double figures (Kane 17, Niang 13, Long 12, Hogue 12, Ejim 10). To win the title, Iowa State had to defeat Kansas State on Thursday, Kansas on Friday, and finally Baylor today.
I've said it before, but March is definitely my favorite month. College basketball is a big part of why. Also... my birthday, St. Patrick's day, and just seeing the snow thaw is always good for the morale. Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year, Selection Sunday. It is always fun to see who Iowa State will be paired up with in the "big dance".
Besides the awesome win for the Cyclones, today was an enjoyable day because my parents Eben & Lynn came down to visit along with my grandma Natalie. We had a good time playing with Nolan. He is still kind of shy around them, and he tried not to wander too far away from me. We did get a cute video of him "blowing kisses" at grandma Lynn and great grandma Natalie.
Nolan is so adorable. And I say that as someone who is not much of a kid person, so, you know I mean it!
