Thanks to everyone who followed today. Cross your fingers for internet in the rest of the gyms we play in, and I'll continue to tweet away!
FYI, recap & boxscore will not be online for a few hours. Bus is about to leave and weve got a long drive to Venice and also stopping to eat
Hopefully the in-game tweets and scoring & rebounding totals were enough until I can push out the full boxscore when we get to Venice.
