VCU vs UCLA, cannot believe VCU lost

If there was any sport I got passionate about in USA, it was basketball. If there was any team I am a big fan of, it was VCU mens basketball team. They are pretty good. And Eric Maynor is a star. In the last game they played at home court, we had bruised our hands cheering, banging the acrylic sheet kept to cover the seats.

NCAA East region opening match between VCU and UCLA was a big deal here at VCU.
Our regular brain storming session shifted from Brandcenter to Chilli's because of the College Basketball season. All the guys had their brackets set. Tristan, Charles and Tony were the leads. But after Iowa lost, Tony slipped down. We were at the table with beer and chips courtesy Tristan.

Mark Fenske passes by and stops have a small chat. We talk about the project we were doing. Then, we talk about basketball. And he is like do you follow? I answered I have planned to watch it tonight. VCU will create and upset. He is like do you know The New York Times has carried out an article about VCU, and hands over the sports section of the newspaper. Indeed, the paper was raving about VCU and Eric Maynor. He is the star. We end our meeting.

I head home to cook food and get ready to watch game scheduled at 9.40 with my friend Aditya. When call comes that I had to be present at my dance practice, a prior commitment. I was so angry at myself that I am going to miss the game and the euphoria. I indeed missed it.

When I came back, I find Aditya all drunk, angry and heart broken. VCU had lost. And again by one point. Dam. I was angry, heartbroken and not drunk. That made it more difficult.

I just finished watching highlights of the game, it was a good game. I just wish the last shot was not missed. Eric has made us win so many games in the final second. I wish this was one of them.

But still it was a great game. I look forward to the next game that VCU mens basketball team plays at home court here in Richmond.
