It’s going to be a BIG night tonight. Game One of the 2015 ACC Tournament
Semi-finals features the North Carolina Tarheels against the Cavaliers of
Virginia. The game airs on ESPN at 7:00
PM. Following that game will be the biggie: my beloved Duke Blue Devils vs. Notre Dame.
As I’ve written many
times before, none of my friends are Duke fans.
They are all huge fans of the Tarheels.
I’ve invited them all to Casa de Curmudgeon for a little camaraderie,
adult beverages and a taco bar.
I’m going to whip out
all my Duke Campus Crystal barware engraved with the Iron Dukes logo and a Duke
chips and dip bowl and a couple of Duke serving trays, after all my quests need
to be reminded whose house they’re visiting.
Drinks will be served
at the bar in the kitchen and I’ll set up a buffet in the den with tortilla
bowls that can be filled with shredded beef, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and
their choice of hot or medium salsa, Pico de Gallo and guacamole. There’ll be some Grilled Corn with Avocado Pico
de Gallo, Mexican Rice and Dulce de Leche Brownie Bites for dessert.
Carolina looked
really strong in their defeat of the Cards yesterday afternoon. The Heels are averaging more points per game
than the Cavs but their percent shooting is fairly equal. I think the Heels pull this one out late in
the game.
At 9:00 PM THE game is on. Duke faces the Irish of Notre Dame for the
third time this season. Ordinarily my
friends might seek to leave after the Carolina game, but they hate despise
dislike really can’t stand that school so they will hang around to join
me in cheering on the Blue Devils to victory.
The Irish are going
to have to battle a tenacious little point guard in Tyus Jones. The third Plumlee brother, Marshall, and
Jahlil Okafor are going to be tough to defend so the question for tonight’s
game is: Will Duke face an explosive offense or the
team that last night needed 12 minutes to get its first field goal of the
second half? After the drubbing Duke
gave NC State last night, I’m betting Duke emerges the victor and plays for the
ACC Championship crown tomorrow night.
GO DUKE
And since no
basketball post would be complete without some pom-poms, here’s some lovely
cheerleaders for you to peruse.
