FRISCO, Texas — I couldn't bear to go back to that arena. The hurt we endured Friday in Blue Raider Nation was truly too much to bear for your first year sportswriter.
When UAB and LA Tech and Charlotte and LA Tech faced off in the conference title games yesterday evening, I knew I didn't want to watch a celebration that it felt like we could taste at that time on Friday. For the Blue Raiders were about 41 minutes and 20 seconds away from the confetti falling on them, the Lady Raiders only about 50 minutes away themselves.
