im not going to lie, i was surprised that u of a got in. i thought they were good enough, but their record, their place in the conference and usc winning the pac-10 tourny all told me this would be the first time in 25 years u of a would not be in the ncaa tournament.
with that said, once they got in, i was not surprised to watch them make the sweet 16 and sweet it is. nothing heals the wounds of losing to asu three times like making it further than that "school" in the tournament.
i was not surprised because when u of a is playing well they beat kansas, gonzaga, ucla, washington, usc, and cal. all teams in the field of 64 with a better seed. im not surprised because even though there record didn't look as good as normal, five of those L's were by two points or less and nine of those losses came to tournament teams. im not surprised because their tournament wins were against utah and cleveland state.
im not surprised, but i am excited. lets go cats! steel louisville's coach!
