I thought this team was going to win it all right up until the Oregon game and they were playing their best basketball in March |

Great team all year, and almost knocked out the national champions if it wasn't for a buzzer beater in the E8 |

Their defense was phenomenal all year and they got hot at the right time to get to the F4 |
