The drought is over! So proud of this team. I think we all felt how special this group could be, and they lived up to it. Thank you to these players, these coaches, the administration, and all of you guys. I know we have all had some differences on this board, but we finally got the one thing we were all chasing. Absolutely incredible. Omaha here I come!

I really thought the confetti did us in. What a team! What a win! Our 40+ years wandering in the basketball desert are over!

 
Honestly-  What a change in momentum before and after the confetti came down.  That really changed the chemistry completely.   When the other team’s coach calls a time out to halt the bleeding it just fires a team up more knowing they have them in the ropes.  This was just a cold stop and gave VCU a chance to clear their heads and take away our fire we built.

We did it... We really freaking did it. I cannot believe it and I am SO happy for you all. Being there in Brooklyn was one of the most special moments of my life and everything has been a whirlwind that I am only able to hop on the forum now. I told you all this team could do it. I love you all and I love Duquesne. Everybody on this forum spends time here because they wanted to see this happen just one more time... we did it. CLK, Stew, and more, I am so so happy for you, and us.
