CRIMSON TIDE MEN’S WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL SHOWS PROGRESS IN ILLINOIS | Benjamin Clark Susan Ryder February 24, 2016 News & Sports 2 Comments CRIMSON TIDE MEN’S WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL SHOWS PROGRESS IN ILLINOIS | Benjamin Clark This past weekend, the University of Alabama’s Men’s wheelchair basketball team travelled to Champaign, Illinois, to compete in a tournament hosted by the University of Illinois. Alabama (13-6) split the weekend series, 2-2. While the results may not be exactly what the Crimson Tide wanted, they did see some positives moving forward. “We found our edge this weekend,” Freshman Michael Auprince said. “As a team, we found us as a whole, rather than worry about the external factors. We got back to the basics and played Alabama basketball. We put ourselves in a great position for success moving forward…….and other teams should be scared.” On day one, Alabama started off the tournament with a win, defeating Edinboro 51-34. After falling behind at the very beginning, the Crimson Tide recovered, scoring eight straight points and taking the lead with 16:11 left in the first half. After that mark, they never lost the lead again. Alabama outrebounded the Fighting Scots 32-19, which played a huge factor in the win. However, game two played out differently this time in the rematch from one match ago against Missouri. The Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide 45-39, led by Marshall Lindsay’s 14 points. For Alabama, the loss did have a bright spot. Junior DQ Robinson led the team with 15 points, after missing the previous weekends games due to illness. Along with Robinson, Auprince added 10 points. The weekend did show a different side of the team that was promising, according to Senior Jannik Blair. “The difference this weekend from the two previous weekends is that we lacked confidence and the ability to finish, overall not looking like ourselves,” Blair said. “This weekend, those moments were few and far between and we in large replaced that with how we play basketball, which we know is good enough to beat anyone in the division.” The “Alabama” style of play was evident in game three on Saturday, as Alabama defeated Illinois 54-37 in a rematch of their two point loss from January. Fully healed Robinson led all scorers with 18 points, followed closely behind with Auprince’s 15 points. The Illini kept it close at the half, only down 16-22, but the second half established the team that Blair spoke of. However, Wisconsin Whitewater proved again to be the permanent thorn in Alabama’s side. The Crimson Tide wrapped up their trip to Illinois with a 52-72 loss to the Warhawks. The Auprince (30 points) led attack gave the Crimson Tide a lot to be excited for, while the defense came up just a little short trying to stop Bisnett (25 points) and Fischbach. (18 points) Despite the finish, Coach Ford Burttram found a lot of positives looking forward to their next tournament, which Alabama will host in Foster Auditorium on February 26. “As a team, we are in a good place mentally,” Burttram said. “We’ve made it through the real grinding part of the season with a chance to get everyone healthy. A few weeks at home will be nice before hitting the road to Nationals to end the season on a positive note.” 2 Responses Anthonykam March 1, 2025 From fiery festivals to nature’s most dazzling “sky-dance”, interest in the night skies is booming, with “noctourism” poised to be a major travel trend in 2025.

Booking.com recently named “noctourism” as a top travel trend for 2025, with their survey of more than 27,000 travellers finding that around two-thirds have considered going to “darker sky destinations” to experience things like starbathing (lying down and looking at the night skies) and witnessing once-in-a-lifetime cosmic events. [url=https://kra22at.cc]kra26 cc[/url] “The cool thing about night adventures is you see so many different sides to a destination, by just staying up late or rising early,” says Stephanie Vermillon, author of the new book 100 Nights Of A Lifetime: The World’s Ultimate Adventures After Dark. “Our senses are heightened, and there are things you see at night that you don’t see any other time, so everything feels exciting and new.” [url=https://kra-24.at]kra29.cc[/url] It was a 2010 trip to Morocco that sparked Vermillon’s interest in all things nocturnal. “I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, which has terrible light pollution,” she tells the BBC. “Then I went to the Sahara Desert and camped under the stars – I saw the Milky Way and two dozen shooting stars that night. I went home, took an astronomy class and later started hunting Northern Lights, which got me curious about what else happens around the world after dark.” Vermillon believes that major events such as the April 2024 total solar eclipse or the 2024-2025 peak in aurora activity has led to a “bump” in the number of people wanting to experience dark skies. There are also now more than 200 Dark Sky Reserves across the globe. “The great thing about the night sky is the perspective it gives you – it’s humbling and grounding,” she says. “You can experience pure awe.” Starry skies and aurora borealis might be the headline acts, but there’s plenty more to do after dark in cities or out in nature. “You see a city so differently at night,” Vermillon says. “I think of it as a city letting its hair down – it’s more relaxed. I’ve also done night safaris, where it’s more about listening than just seeing, and I’ve seen water sparkling with bioluminescence, which looks like magic. Everything at night has a little extra sparkle.” Here are five of Vermillon’s favourite after-dark experiences, from fiery cultural festivals to nature’s greatest sky dance. kra30.at https://kra28-at.com [url=https://kra-21.at]kra25 at[/url] Reply JamesCloke March 1, 2025 From fiery festivals to nature’s most dazzling “sky-dance”, interest in the night skies is booming, with “noctourism” poised to be a major travel trend in 2025.
