The Road to Greensboro -- March 14th -- Day 2

We left for Greensboro, North Carolina on a cold blustery morning, but by the time we were hungry for lunch the sun was out and it had warmed up slightly. Because we were passing Clemson, SC, home of Clemson University we decided to eat there. With the help of Yelp we found a local hot dog stand near the campus and were soon on our way north again. We arrived at our hotel south of Greensboro in mid-afternoon, unpacked the car and headed to Greensboro to catch the evening session of first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, which involved games between the 8 lower ranking teams (and therefore not Duke) but we wanted to go because (1) we wanted to check out the location, parking, etc. for the Greensboro Coliseum--the site of the tournament--and (2) we had bought tickets for the whole tournament and my feeble attempts to sell the first day had been unsuccessful. We watched Maryland defeat Wake Forest, and watched the first half of the Clemons vs. Florida state game, ultimately won by the Seminoles and then decided to call it a night. Like everyone else there we were showing our colors, especially Max.
