Redeemer Gold, Raptors blow out, and March Madness

Lots of sports news...

25 years after its humble beginnings Redeemer University College wins their first golden medal within the OCAA. I love this school, and I love the fact that a school of about 850 people can beat a school with about 15000 students in the Indoor soccer finals! Redeemer wins gold! The OCAA website tells us, "No Redeemer men’s tournament or league team has ever won an OCAA gold medal…until today when the Royals dethroned the Humber Hawks 2-1 in the Championship final. "

Yesterday I was at the Raptors game. And I guess it was historic - 96-54 for the Raptors against the Heat. Biggest margin of victory for Toronto ever, lowest points against for Toronto ever, and third lowest points (54) in the NBA ever scored by the Heat. The icing on the cake was Jamario Moon's sick dunk > see Video.

And also March Madness started today! College basketball is awesome. North Carolina all the way!

The Dinos

I got to admit - ever since I moved to Canada I have had a renewed passion for the sport of basketball, especially the Toronto Raptors. Last year I was able to see 3 games! That was pretty amazing, the first game I saw was Toronto's win over LeBron James and Cleveland that many have described as a turn around for Toronto's season, the last game was in the playoffs vs. the Nets and Vince Carter. That crowd was booming! The Raps won as well, however, they got eliminated in game 6.

This year I have been following my team as well, and I have to so I am pretty satisfied, I am happy where they are, but there is room for improvement. Let's finish of the regular season strong. I can't wait for March 19th to see them against the Miami Heat. Anyway, now you know, I love basketball. It's nice.
