Heart-breaking loss

Don't freak out from the title! It was only a game. But it was a heart-breaker. Duke beat North Carolina last night, 74-73. It was a home game for Carolina. They were favored to win. They lead the ACC. They are ranked #5, nationally, Duke is ranked #20. Duke was down two key players due to injury. Carolina led  virtually the entire game. But Duke pulled ahead in the last minute. Carolina had the last possession, with 7 seconds left, down one point. A chance to win. Their shot was blocked. Game over. Fans stunned. Players crying. Betsey swore that was it for her this season. Too painful to watch. 

Today has dawned bright and clear. Amazingly, life goes on.
