The Think Pink game turned out to be a huge success. I think we had the most fans come out to support our team than we have ever had. Not only that, but we almost pulled off what would have been our biggest comeback all season. We were losing to the #1 team in the conference, Transylvania University, by 17 points at halftime and trailed by our largest margin of 21 early in the second half before posting a come from behind effort. Leading by 5 with almost 1:30 to play, we failed to score a basket in the closing minutes and Transy pulled ahead on a jumper by Jackie Distler with 10 seconds to go. We got a good look at a basket with one second on the clock and it just didn't fall. We lost by a score of 77-76.
After the game, we went out and took pictures with everyone who was at the game and wearing pink, some of whom were breast cancer survivors. Others were fans there supporting our last home game of the season. I want to thank all of the great fans, family and community members who came to show support. It was greatly appreciated even in a losing effort.
