When we won the national title in 2003, all our dreams had finally come true. The rpevailing spirit on the board was that it didn't matter what happened after this- we'd have this forever. We'd never again have that sense of being thwarted, that somehow this world didn't belong to us- it belonged to others and they'd get the rewards all the time. We could handle whatever happened next so much easier.
 
Then came the ACC snub, which dominated what shoudl have been a pleasant spring and summer. Connecticut won their second title the next year, moving them back ahead of us. Then came two first round NCAA flame-outs and two NIT seaosns. We started to come back the next year and had the glory of thye 6OT game. We had one of our gretaest teams in 2010 but lost a key player and got beat in part thanks to a bad out of boudns call by a team that came withing a rim shot of winning the title. We all felt that that should have been our second title, (actiually it should have been our third). Then a 9th place UCONN team that we'd beaten in their own place and lost to in OT in New York wins the ugliest national championship game ever to get their third title- and we are stuck on one! This year we obviously have a major national title contender. But there's a feeling that we'd better win this one- we need to keep up!
 
When you think of the 2003 title now, what do you think of? All our dreams coming true? Or does it seem somehow embarressing that that's the only time we won it? Are we back to the same feelings we used to have, as if it never happened?
