My Anteaters lost in their first ever NCAA Tournament game in Seattle. But you know what? I don’t mind. We played a good game against Louisville and I think that’s all that matters. Sure, I’m a bit sad, but definitely not anywhere near as sad as the piccolo player from Villanova.
I’m definitely glad I took Friday off to fly up to Seattle to watch the game in person. It was an expensive day. I will now proceed to eat $5 lunches…
I’ll be honest. After many years of agonizing defeat at the Big West Tournament, I didn’t think we’d make it. Images of the best players on the team choking under the pressure played in my head. It’s happened before after all.
Now that UC Irvine is in the NCAA tournament, I desperately want to go to their first game in Seattle, WA. There are obstacles between me and Seattle, and I don’t know if they’ll be resolved in time.
Now the chances of me flying all the way over to watch my Anteaters win is pretty slim to nothing. Would it be worth it? Yes.
We’ll see.
For the first time in school history, UC Irvine has finally won the Big West Tournament. We’re going to the Big Dance!! NCAA Tournament! Yahooooo!!
