We would be playing Princeton right now.

The bracket decidedly did NOT break X's way this year. Even if they had won they'd be going up against a scorching hot Miami FL

Creighton.

Quicker, more physical teams have been a problem all year. We've just been able to hit a lot of shots to make up for it.

Nance says we were lucky to be down 6 at one point. And we were. Then just like that - 15 points.

Shaka Smart playbook has been copied.

I like it - go all out, nothing to lose. Maybe we get a friendly whistle 2nd half

They had 6 points of miracle 3pointers and X can’t make a basket to save their lives. No secret to how this got out of hand. Well at least the game was on CBS /s

I changed X hats. It has to help right? :)

I guess it is time to cheer on Creighton and UConn. Maybe in 2-3 years Miller will have 2-3 McDonald's All Americans and swarming players that don't freak out if defense plays aggressively

I turned by hat inside out and switched beer brands.
