Last evening, instead of watching the games, I watched the 30-for-30 documentary on the 1983 NC State team. Hadn't seen it since it was released ~ 10 yrs ago. Many here were fortunate to have watched that game live on TV (I was a junior in HS), and Villanova take down G'town two years later (I was a freshman at UIUC), and then Duke slay unbeatable Goliath UNLV in the '91 FF. I get chills recalling these games, because I understood as I was watching them how special they were.
At this point in the tourney winning as an underdog requires (beyond talent) both coaching strategy and flexibility, and an entire team (from the starting five all the way through to the student managers) that's loose, confident, has nothing to lose, and possesses both humility and swagger. That's us these past couple weeks. The best part for me isn't the wins, it's seeing how much fun these guys, and especially BU, are having.
There's no reason why we can't beat UConn. Absolutely none. So let's go do that this evening, and put another quarter in the jukebox.
