Subject: Saturday's game

Wow! I made the trip down to Birmingham for the game today and I am so glad I did. I can't begin to tell you what it was like, but I'll try.

I'm not sure about total attendance, but there had to of been at least 7,000 people there and easliy 6,300 of them were UT fans. They really tried to bully us in every aspect of the game. Their band would play over ours. Their fans would try to cheer over us once we began a cheer. And if you watched the game, you know that it was physical and many of the calls did not go our way. But in the end, we didn't back down. A big thank you goes out to the fans from Texas Tech who helped cheer us on against UT. Their band even joined ours in the fight song, calling out opposing players who committed a foul and making the "X" with their hands when our girls were at the line.

Our fans were unreal. Screaming at the top of their lungs until they were horse. Encouraging the girls and each other. I can't tell you how many X fans I high-fived that I didn't even know. Student support was awesome, and considering the poor turnout of Purdue fans, I anticipate we will have the "home" floor advantage, if one exists.

I thought Amy, Nicole and Reeta did an amazing job of handling the defensive pressure from UTs guards and breaking the press. We easliy could of had 3 times as many turnovers (we only had 9) and UT could of walked away with this one. This Xavier team is disciplined and determined. They believe they can play and beat anyone, and to be honest with you, after today's performance, I feel we may be in St. Louis next week.

I thought one of the classiest things that happened today occurred at the end of the game. The loudest ovation was for Melanie as she walked off the floor. She is the Coach of the Year. I truly felt happy for her today. She couldn't even hide the smile as she walked off the floor. I am glad the Xavier community is recognizing the AMAZING job she is doing with the program.

Today is a great day to be a Musketeer.

I'm gonna be there on Monday screaming my head off and getting the girls to St. Louie!!! Bring on the Boilermakers!
