My trip to Arkansas is off, cancelled ~7 hours before it was to begin, after Denver’s season ended in heartbreak at the hands of Western Kentucky in the Sun Belt semifinals last night.

Meanwhile, the college my mom attended for her first 2 years (before transferring to Illinois), Western Illinois, stunned #1 seed Oral Roberts in the Summit League semis last night, and will play for their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth tonight.
