    Monkey off back

    I think the relief will be palpable and they'll play even looser, with more confidence. Gotta go beat a team they already beat at their place.

    I agree.

    As a fan, this game weighed on me. Today couldn't come soon enough.

    Play free guys, play hard and do your thing.

        Definitely, couldn't state it better. I was awfully nervous coming in, for precisely this reason.

          I loved watching Pangos after the game. He was so happy. The kid has won more games than any GU player ever. He truly deserves to make the sweet 16.

            Don't know how it'll go but beating UCLA twice will be a great feeling. I don't know what's new in the 2nd half of the years for the UCLAN'S.

                The team, the staff, and the fans really needed a win like this. There will be a ton of momentum going forward and smiles all around. As I sit here banging this out I'm smiling like a jackass eating thistles.

                  My hands were shaking at the start of this game, but within a few minutes I'd calmed down. What a relief!

                    Honestly? I didn't start calming down until about the point with 6 minutes left. I recall there were 7:40 and we were up 13 and Sabonis was on the line. Right at that point (bc IA had just had it down to 11), "if he can sink these 2 and we go to 15 with 7 left, I think we're there" and Sabonis did, and ONLY then did my hands stop shaking.

                      Winning against UCLA will wipe out years of resentment and add years to my life.

                        I really think Pangos/Bell will see that as an especially juicy opportunity in making the run to remember.

                          One of the reasons I love coming to this board is knowing I was not alone totally being stressed out all day about this game and getting back to the Sweet 16 (and beyond!).

                            It may not add any years to my life, but I'll die a happier man. Lol

                              Nice to stay on Cloud 9 for another week, plus get the opportunity to watch this special team play again.
