...but now I want to win. I just watched JB's post game locker room speech and he told the guys to get composed because they want to be the last team standing. After Sunday, anything is possible. I'm not buying the 10 point spread, and I LOVE being the underdog. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still pumped up from Sunday night. Now lets go beat Carolina. LGO!!!

Is there a link for that? I was on "good husband Easter dinner" duty. Caught bits and pieces, but didn't get to see it straight through until I got home. My God son kept checking the score on his phone, but he sat next to me so his mom couldn't give him "the glare."
 
The gravy is gone man...We have as good a shot as anybody. It would be disappointing again to lose now. We have been in both UNC games and could have won either.
 
LOVE this thread and this mentality. At this stage of the game, there's 4 legit teams that can win it, why can't we?

This whole run has been so unexpected and totally wonderful. I missed out on attending the Final Four in 2013 and promised myself I wouldn't miss the next one. So, so pumped about this weekend, but also a little dazed and shocked about the whole thing.

Hopefully that feeling won't wear off next Tuesday morning either!

Gravy! I don't know about you but I'm swimming in it!

The boys are getting another heavy dose of motivation fuel from the media. Anything can happen. I love that we are playing our best ball and everyone else in the country is still in denial. Nunes will have to write another letter of apology. But I agree. I too am beginning to believe!

in my house My wife and kids will get a glare or yelled at if they are to loud or walk in front of the TV if Cuse is on.
 
Yah that's the problem with this tournament. What you think of as a good performance or what you would've taken beforehand it still never feels good when you lose.
We've been the underdog in every F4 game except Providence right? I don't know what anything else feels like.

eh, its still all gravy for me. I was so calm and collected for the UVA game - I knew it was going to work out. It was a great way to enjoy the game. May be the most enjoyable game of my life - because I never panicked and always kept the faith.

Not this cowboy. I mean, I knew we had at worst a solid chance to win going into each of those first three games, even though we all knew Gonzaga would be a tough out. But given the way Virginia so methodically played, and how they had handled us comfortably in the three previous matchups, I thought okay, it's been a good run and a lot of fun and excitement, but it'll probably be over. I did get to see Malachi's step-back 3 live, and that's when I thought, "Okay, this has legs!"

I dont mean to say that i knew we were winning the whole time... I just had that peaceful easy feeling that it was all going to work out the way it was supposed to and I was OK with the outcome. I did think (and i posted the tweet) that it would be a ball game at the end and just hoped for the ball to bounce our way. I think the Mali 3 to go up 4 was that ball bouncing our way.


I am hoping to be in Houston on Sat - and I am going to keep that peaceful easy feeling because this run has already been so special. Im not sure if its destiny to finish it - I'm just thankful for the last 2 weeks. Keeping it going is just gravy.
