Basketball Bucket List Weekend

 Matt has been a Phoenix Suns fan since the late-80's.  It is tough being a fan of a team that is 1,800 miles and 3 time zones away, but he has been a faithful supporter for over 30 years.  This weekend, Matt was finally able to see his beloved Suns in person for the first time when they came to Indianapolis to play the Pacers.  (That's just 3 hours away.)


Finally made it to a Suns game

Thank goodness for the jumbotron

Saying goodbye after a win!



On our way home from Indianapolis, a friend called to ask if we had any interest going to the Kentucky-Tennessee basketball game at Rupp Arena.  Since we were coming through Lexington about gametime, our friends were kind enough to bring the tickets to us so we could go.

We met our friends at a pizza place, and they shared a slice of giant pizza with Matt.



Made it in time for tip-off!


Three for Kentucky!

Coach Stoops and some of the football team came to show off the Citrus Bowl trophy.

Jumbotron coming in handy again.

The girls got some of the famous Rupp Arena ice cream.  (And Jay Bilas even liked Amy's tweet about it.)

One of the best halftime shows in America - the Firecrackers!





Quite the victory for the Cats

Basking in another win!

That's two-for-two on the weekend!
