Last night as I was doing homework, I on the tv that there was a pep rally for the men's basketball team when they got home at 10pm. Since I had to pick Mikel up from work at 9:30 anyways, we decided to stop by and check it out.
The team had just arrived back in town and still had their backpacks and warm ups on. It's amazing what the school can put together so quickly at 10 on a Sunday night!
When we came in, a replay of the basketball game was on the big screen and everyone was watching and cheering like crazy!
Sparty and some of the cheerleaders were there to great the team as well...
This is a video of the team coming through the tunnel. It's not the whole thing but you can hear the crazy crowd and see how many people were there...
Once the team came through the tunnel and the crazy applause ended, they showed a highlight video from all of their tournament games thus far. This is the team looking up and watching the video surrounded by press...
Izzo, the head coach, and his family were surrounded by media while the highlight video was playing too... 
Both Coach Izzo and Travis Walton, one of the seniors, addressed the crowd...
And the team did some sort of dance thing that apparently is a replay of something they did at midnight madness at the beginning of the season...
Overall, I'm glad we decided to check it out. I'm continually amazed and impressed by big time sport programs! The whole thing only lasted about a half hour but they turned our probably close to 9,000 people on super short notice.The Final Four should be pretty fun this weekend especially because they're playing in Detroit!
I'm also glad we have a nice new camera to capture good pictures of all the cool things we're seeing!
