I was honestly expecting a W last night. Just seemed like a team of destiny, against all odds, our run had a Rudy movie type magic going on or so it felt... any other team but Duke, and you just knew we would be playing Sunday, I fully believe that.

About the game- Yes, we turned it over... yes we missed dunks, and ya some free throws too. That didn't faze me as JB seemed locked in, which is usually the barometer for me, as to how locked in our team is in big games. The non foul calls in the first half  on duke ,and the non calls on the traveling even more so, were critical. It was really that close. If Trent misses that foul shout with 7 seconds to go, I have no doubt we win on a 3 at the buzzer. It's always disappointing to lose especially with some correctable mistakes, and in the sweet 16 to a conference rival.

On a positive note- we made it to spring still playing bball, and looked like we belonged. As disappointing and empty losing feels to us, it probably feels more painful to the players and coaches, who really put in the work to ride what ended up being a pretty good wave of play to close the year-- and made us all proud. Proud to be a fan of the effort, proud to be a fan of the great coaching job put in by JB, and hopeful that this experience and the desire to win a National Championship next year keeps this tight-nit group together one more year.
