We've had upsets before, but...

This team wasn't expected to sniff a FINAL FOUR this year. We were written off present and future as a program. And the last 36 hours I don't remember anyone picking us in the national media. It has to be 20-1 against. This was just a great win. Leadership, coaching, and um, oh yeah GUTS.

Just proves the "pundits" are clueless.

I agree this team has done this before. It's just amazing to see it again in one lifetime. Who else does this? Gonzaga? Butler? Not like this.

but idk if they technically said final four bound

This is more like Kansas 1988. Blue blood program, tremendous pedigree, happens to still get it done in an otherwise down year.

2011?

but we were still the hot team after winning 5 in 5 days against 4 top 20 teams and moving us to the 3 line. Some experts were picking us to win. Nobody (sans kenny Smith) was picking us to go to the FF this year. Especially with the anointed Michigan St in the same bracket.

Nah man. Once we one the BE tournament, the media was totally on our side in the NCAA. This is just something else. Kevin Ollie > billboard material
