If we win this one I propose we chain Sus-Scrofa to the server and force him to start every game thread for every sport until the juju wears off.

Funny how things go.

Around Christmas, I was thinking we were a Sweet Sixteen team and anything more would be gravy. Anything less would be a disappointment.

By the end of January, I would have regarded it as a miracle if we even made the tournament at all. Getting to the Sweet Sixteen was out of the question.

Now here we are. We've met my initial goal. Everything else is gravy. But it feels like we overperformed to get here.

Compared to the season yes, but in the actual games against Kansas and St. John's, we didn't look like a team that just got hot or lucky, we just looked like a team that was as good or better than both of them.

I agree. We hit some timely (not lucky) shots down the stretch in both games. Like you said...we are at least as good as those teams and we just outplayed them.

After we won Thurs, my initial thought was anything beyond that was icing on the cake. When we were 0-5, the tourny was a pipe dream, let alone the sweet 16. I want to see how Thiero plays tonight. If he looks good, can actually contribute, I honestly believe this team can get to the FF. We can beat TT, we can beat Fl/Mary with a healthy Thiero.
It's a miracle that the team that was 0-5 and down their 2 best players is within 2 games of a FF.

This'll be the first Arkansas game of any sport in my 39 years where I haven't been able to call dad and talk about how it's going. Hospice House in Jonesboro was good to him for the past week but he passed away last night.

Funeral arrangements are set and now I'm back to hating whoever the next team we play is. Sand Aggy? Just as gay as original aggy

[BASS]

Goddamn buff, hate to hear that. Hope the game is a welcome distraction for you and your family. May your dad give us an assist tonight.

[BleedinRed]

Damn.  Sorry to hear that buff. 

[berryhog]

Sorry for your loss, Buff.

I'm burying him on April Fools Day. He'll prob cost us the game in an epic Arkansas fashion just for the last laugh.

[Doc Hogaday]

Sorry to hear, buff.

[Zoso]

Hate to hear that my man.

[Barton Fink]

Condolences Buff!

[Hognrock]

Sorry for your loss Buff.

He'll be watching with Big O and sharing a pizza if Big O will give him some.

[TC]

My condolences, Buff.

That's a sad one. Hopefully, a little light will shine through with a victory tonight.
