We're sitting in our hotel here in Ohio - I'm not sure exactly what town we're in, but I know that we stay here for both Kent State and Akron.
And I know that they have the best breakfast here of any hotel we stay in. But it's Kent State tonight.
My cousin is a freshman at Kent and she's coming out to the game, so it'll be nice to see her. It's been awhile.
But let's rewind a bit to Sunday afternoon and our game against Akron: finally we meet again following our loss in the MAC Championship Game.
Before the game even began, you could sense the energy and anticipation. Seats in Alumni Arena were filling up long before tip-off and players on both teams were anxious to get things going.
Amid all the excitement there was a basketball game and it went pretty well. Guys were playing hard and we came out on top. It was a great feeling walking off the court with a win against the Zips.
The beautiful thing about college basketball though? Rise and shine early Monday morning for practice. There's no time for celebrating - or sulking for that matter. It's always time to move on to the next game.
So after two good practices we boarded the bus to Kent, Ohio. It was a short trip, only about three and a half hours. But after tonight's game we head to Ohio University for our game Saturday afternoon before traveling back to Buffalo late Saturday night.
That's a whole week on the road.
So if you see any of my professors this week, let them know I'll be thinking about them and about class. Tell them I'll see them soon.
But it's game day and I need to get a little rest. Just laying in bed watching the Australian Open - James Blake is currently losing to Del Potro in a match that happened yesterday. I already know Del Potro wins, but why not watch some good stuff while I relax?
Enjoy your Hump Day.
