So if you tell me 10 years ago that we have to beat Illinois, Arizona and Duke to win a championship at Maui, I’d be surprised if we won any of those games.
We lost 5 of 6 to Illinois, were 0-3 vs Duke, and I think maybe we won twice vs Arizona. None of those are good records.
We also had the talking heads saying we couldn’t beat ACC teams even though we knew we’ve done it before. Check my math but I do believe the last ACC team we’ve beaten was Clemson back in 2012 back at Old Spice tournament. Now let’s not get crazy because we have had our chances especially in the tournament Duke, Syracuse, UNC, and FSU. We are 0-4 the last 4 NCAA Tournaments vs ACC opponents. That’s not ripping Gonzaga either. We were just as good as any of those teams, but for some reason couldn’t find the win column. We just lost. I don’t use excuses.
We’ve been through a lot Zag fans. A lot of heartache, a lot of surprises and great great wins. Nothing felt better than shutting up the Final 4 haters, nothing in the regular season felt better than yesterday regular season wise.
Now it’s time to finish out this regular season by continuing to prove ourselves. We got big games coming up. You all know them. Vs Tennessee, @UNC, Washington, @creighton.... more opportunities to prove we belong.
Next we got Tillie coming back. It’s like having a transfer come in midseason but you already know what he’s capabale of. Then we got SMC and BYU and the rest of the WCC coming with a target on our backs ... history has proven those games will be dogfights too. And we better come prepared there too because they are hungry as well.
Then we right the ship in the NCAA Tournament.
I believe y’all. I believe. Let’s get it done!!! Vengeance is coming to CBK
