SDSU never and still doesn’t have a chance against UConn IMO.I had SDSU winning this game in my original bracket, I'm not confident.
Also, I had Alabama in the final 4. I don't love that either.
If that actually happens tonight (Illini and SDSU win), I will probably pull the trigger on Final 4 tix. I've been kicking it around since I live in Phoenix/Scottsdale, but with UConn out there, I haven't felt comfortable taking the chance on having to resell them. It would be a dream come true to be able to drive to an Illini Final Four game, and probably a once in a lifetime opportunity.I am NOT getting cocky about a win vs. Iowa State ... while I believe our Illini can pull it out, ISU is very good and I am nervous as hell for this one. With that said...
I will be rooting my heart out for SDSU today. With no disrespect meant to SDSU, it is my opinion that them taking out UConn in a somewhat fluke victory multiplies our (and Iowa State's) chance to make a Final four about tenfold. I believe UConn is that good.
If we are fortunate enough to win tonight and face UConn on Saturday, I will be so extremely pleased with this season that I will simply try to enjoy every second until Saturday's game is over. I will treat Saturday as playing with house money, and I will go in with no expectations and just hope. However, if we win tonight and face SDSU Saturday ... I will seriously start dreaming of a sixth Final Four for this program and entertain flights to Arizona...
No doubt! 2021 had a BTT banner and a #1 seed, pretty great. 2022 had a regular season championship banner (more prestigious than the BTT, if we are being honest). However, having a BTT banner AND (at least!!) at Sweet Sixteen is easily Brad's best effort here ... and it corresponds to our fan base in general being the happiest it has been since this time in 2005.Listening to Matt Painter today on what he considers a successful season. He said that it is successful only if it is his best season yet. Although he has had disappointments in the NCAA Tourney, I like his mindset. Under these parameters, this season has been a success for BU.

It could not be funnier that he's commentating rather than coaching this weekendBruce Pearl commenting on Alabama's prospects. Now that is rich.
I absolutely love seeing Bruce Pearl behind the desk in March.Bruce Pearl commenting on Alabama's prospects. Now that is rich.
