Had a Facebook memory of "31-1" for today so I went down memory lane.

The 31st win was in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament over UConn. I guess this season started a week later.

We were 30-1 in the regular season. We lost 1 time. Over a whole season. And that was @ND without Fab.

A down year for the Big East helped with our record. We only played 4 ranked teams with 5 games total.

Only 5 games were within 5 points. Marshall was actually one of our closest games with only a 6 point margin.

Kris Joseph was our leading minute man at only 32 per game. 5 others were in the 20s with another 4 in the 10s.

145th in 3P%.

2nd in blocks 4th in steals. Our defense was great.

Joseph was our leading scorer at only 13.4 per game! Crazy how balanced we were.

We lost to Cincy in the Big East semis. Joseph was just 2/6 from the field, all 3 point attempts. We shot 35% from 2 and 56% from the line in a game we lost by 3. Waiters went off for 28 including 7/10 from 3.

1st round of the tournament we only beat UNC Asheville by 7. I remember people being upset at some calls that wanted to see the upset. Thank you Virginia for erasing this forever.

2nd round we beat Kansas State easily.

Sweet 16 was the crazy Wisconsin game. They were 14/27 from 3. Can you imagine a college team shooting such a high percentage on that many attempts? ;)

And finally the Elite 8 game vs Ohio State. 28 fouls called against us. We averaged 16.4 per game. Waiters fouled out in 20 minutes. Southerland fouled out in 11. They shot 17 more free throws than us. What an absolute shame of a game. Aaron craft did foul out surprisingly...in the last minute.
