Favorite Moments in the UR victory over VCU

[SpiderVol]

So many great plays. If Shawndre's buzzer beater had gone in at the end of regulation I would have said that one. But I will say something that happened post-game:

That every player and coach came over and high fived my kids as they walked through the tunnel to the locker room. Our seats are right there and my kids (6 and 4) love giving them high fives from the team as they leave the court at halftime and end of the game.

This time they all made sure to come over to celebrate with them. My son has been talking about it non-stop since. I think some of the players were surprised they were still up that late. We have a great group of young men representing our school.

Both my kids are in the picture with TJ Cline on the UR website (posted below). My son is the one in the red spider jersey on the left. My daughter (with her red jersey too) is tucked in next to him. You can really only see her arm.

My son wants to get the pictured printed and ask TJ if he will sign it.

"we have great kids"!

Vol, that is a great picture!! No doubt TJ will sign it for them. Did you guys see TJ in the middle of the court storming? He was hugging and giving high fives to every student. All the players were, but TJ had that huge grin on his face.

I do not know if it is a favorite moment, but one of the defining moments was Burgess 3 pointer at the end of regulation. I thought we were toast. It was an event that defined this team- through all of the adversity, through all of barriers, they never gave up.

Vol - sit directly across from you on the other side of section 6. That is more than awesome for your children and what a great picture! Thanks for posting it. That is a moment your son in particular will never forget.
