UNC vs. Belmont Abbey

On Friday, November 6, UNC had an exhibition game at home against Belmont Abbey. Donald got the whole family tickets and we were all excited to go. This game was "general admission" so everyone just got to sit wherever. (There were, of course, reserved seats, but the majority of the Smith Center was open.) Donald ended up being sick and unable to go, but Jenna, Darin and I headed over to Chapel Hill to be there when the doors opened and to save seats for the rest of the gang. We ended up sitting on the 2nd and 3rd rows near the basket.

We were there 3 1/2 hours before the game, but we were entertained by watching the Lady Tarheels take on Virginia in volleyball.

Then the real fun started with warm-ups. It was great to be SO close.

Delainey wasn't so sure about being so close....

Once the game started, the action was too fast for my s-l-o-w camera. I missed numerous dunks and blocks which were RIGHT in front of us!! I did, however, get a free throw shot!

Here's a picture of the group taken at half-time. I don't know how to crop pictures for the blog so you have to find us in the sea of blue...
