This past weekend was not a good weekend in sports for the teams I like. They all lost.

It all started Saturday when the Michigan Wolverines women's basketball team lost to Minnesota Golden Gophers 85-69. Michigan held the lead at halftime, 38-34, but couldn't hold on to the lead. Two Minnesota players, Amanda Zahui and Rachel Banham lead all scorers with 24 points. Siera Thompson was Michigan's leading scorer with 19.

No. 17 Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team lost a close game in OT to No. 2 Syracuse Orange Saturday night. Syracuse topped Duke 91-89 in OT. Duke's Jabari Parker and Amile Jeffereson fouled out of the game in the last two minutes of regulation. Rasheed Sulaimon of Duke tied the game at 78 when he made a 3-point basketball before the buzzer to send the game into overtime. The Blue Devils lead in OT 87-84, but the Orange were able to rally to the win. Syracuse's C.J. Fair lead his team with 28 points and Rasheed Sulaimon was Duke's leading scorer with 16 points. Duke's record is now 17-5, 6-3 ACC and Syracuse is perfect at 21-0; 8-0 ACC.

No. 3 Duke Blue Devils women's basketball team fell to No. 2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sunday 88-67. Duke lost its first home ACC game since 2008.  They previously won 42 ACC games at home. Kayla McBride lead Notre Dame with 23 points. Duke's Tricia Liston also scored 23 points. The Irish held the Blue Devils to a season low 39% shooting. After the win, Notre Dame is in now alone in first place of the ACC. Duke is now 21-2, 8-1 ACC and Notre Dame is 21-0, 8-0 ACC.

The final loss of the weekend was Denver Broncos losing to Seattle Seahawks 43-8 in the Super Bowl. The game started out so horrible for Denver. The Broncos center snapped the ball over Peyton Manning's head and went into the endzone for a safety. For the quarter or two that I watched, Denver couldn't do anything at all. Seattle's defense was really good. The top performers for the game; Passing: Peyton Manning (DEN): 280 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT; Rushing: Percy Havin (SEA): 2 carries, 45 yards and Receiving: Demaryius Thomas (DEN): 13 receeptions, 118 yards, 1 TD.
