I am quite anxious about tonight and obviously would love to destroy Gonzaga.
But rationally, I don't think I could be THAT upset if we lost at this point. I came into this season saying Hurley NEEDS to win an NCAA tournament game. And that pressure was unbelievable. I know he felt it. I felt it.
Sweet 16 was, in my heart, the goal of the season, but Elite Eight was like my secret goal. A return to essentially elite status. Especially with a great recruiting class coming in.
I am emotionally attached to this team for sure and I want them to win it all, but I am really proud of this team and everything they've accomplished and nothing that happens after this moment is going to diminish that for me.
