Plaisted better come to play against A&M. They have a big guy, think his name is Jones, who is a beast inside. He goes hard on the glass. They also have a 7 footer who plays well. We better be ready to hit the boards hard! However, A&M doesn't really have a player that can take over the game on offense like the teams we usually have a hard time with.

Argh!!! You had to bring up memories of McNamara. He was shooting lights out that game. What drove me crazy was that after they barely beat us he shot a horrible percentage during his next game in the second round and they lost. Ah well, life goes on...

Sorry, rockstar, Syracuse took out Maryland in the second round. The game you're probably thinking of is the Sweet 16 game against a 'Bama team that surprised EVERYBODY by beating 1 seed Stanford in the 2nd round, and Syracuse got overconfident when they saw an "8" to the left of their opponent's name. I was annoyed because I thought if we could take it to Syracuse, and 'Cuse pulled it out against a 4 seed, we could've had a shot at the Sweet 16 that year! I mean, we beat one of the Final Four teams on a neutral court!!!

I was there when BYU beat OSU and that was about as unneutral as they come. But it was a great game.

Didn't take but an hour for the blasphemous threads to begin...

Yeah, I was too. And you're right, it was(both un-neutral, and a great game). In my defense, the CROWD may not have been neutral, but at least the actual COURT was...
I stopped short of joining the "TRAI-TOR" chant at Bobik, but not many others did.

Oh well, still a win, right?

I hope the boys come ready "mentally" to play.
