Ah, Higher Education

I've mentioned before that the Mister's family is very supportive of all the universities in Arizona. But Friday night we focused on the University of Arizona, as we got a last minute invite to go to an Alumni dinner with the basketball team. Our second daughter is poised to graduate from UofA in May, and is also an avid fan of the team, so she joined us for the evening. Our friend had purchased a table, which meant that we got to have a player sit with us, and that was the young point guard, Mustafa Shakur. Our friend's daughter and her sorority sisters were also at the table, and when introducing the players, Coach Lute Olson remarked on Mustafa's good fortune at sitting at a table full of UofA coeds.

The game yesterday was a nail-biter, but the Wildcats won it by 2 with less than a second to go.
