I finally had the opportunity to travel to Atlantic City thanks to our men's basketball team. The 2008 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Championships are once again being held this year at Boardwalk Hall. We were the 11th seed, set to meet the 7th seeded Charlotte on Wednesday night at 9pm. I knew going down we could be one and done and head home the next day...or we could go all the way and be lucky enough to spend 4 days there. Of course, I was desiring the later. Unfortunately, the earlier ended up happening. After a 5 hour drive down, we ended up spending a mere 19 hours in this spectacular city before we turned around and made a 6 hour trip back.
We stayed at Bally's Hotel & Casino and it was absolutely gorgeous. My room was quite lovely, with a massive flat screen HDTV and a bed that was to die for. The art was phenomenal, the shower was the largest that I'd ever seen and the views at night when this small city was lit up were breathtaking.
The Rams ended up losing to the 49'ers by 2 points in the final .3 seconds. After an extremely controversial offensive foul called on us with 8.3 seconds left, Charlotte took possession. We fouled them, the sank their free throws and our hopes of capturing the 2008 Championship were shattered. Our fingers are crossed that we at least make the NIT, which we will find out this coming Sunday.
