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.
