I believe he was in the bag before they fired Gillespie. A very bad year for me and sports. My Sooners were on the threshold of greatness in hoops and football, and choked. heh :)
Your Sooners definitely did not choke in hoops. UNC has been on a mission in the NCAA Tournament.
I thought my Zags could run with them. I was dead wrong, at least for that game.
That's the negative side of the "one and done" nature of the NCAA tournament, focusing on that last game without putting the season into perspective.
