Anyone else have "that" feeling?

NO, I'm not talking about running the BET table and securing the automatic bid. NO, I'm talking talking about popping a few Viagra (Ralph......cough).

I'm talking about the feeling in March that we experienced so often. It is hard to describe, but it is a combination of anxiety, excitement, hope and fear (some might get these feelings for other reasons....).

While the season has not worked out as we all thought after Maui, we have a pulse in March. We're now 18-14 (7-11). I think we need to advance to the BET finals to receive an at-large bid, but we have a chance.

Every game is an elimination game. Every game could be our last. We're fighting for our lives.

This was apparent when Yancy picked up his 3rd foul with 12 minutes remaining in the game and Mick pulled him out against Yancy's wishes. Yancy was out of the game for about 30 seconds then re-entered. I would guarantee that Mick told him he had 3 fouls and we need him on the floor to win, so be smart and don't commit stupid fouls.

That's desperation. That's playing with abandonment. That's the do or die attitude we all love. We may lose, but we're going to lose with our best on the floor. I love that attitude.

As it even needs mentioning, huge game tonight against our former coach and WVA. We can put ourselves back into the discussion with a win. Effort, energy and concentration.

Win or lose, I'm glad to have a pulse in March again.

Loved every second of the game. I had every intention of watching the game in bed while getting ready to sleep. By the end I was standing in front of the T.V. yelling.

I think it was a combination of it being a "big time game" with march implications and the way that team played. This was vintage UC.....the teams I fell in love with when I was growing up. They were out hustling, out rebounding, and flat out wanted it more. UC is not more talented than Ville but they sure as hell wanted it more.

These young kids (frosh and sophs) play with passion and that is contagious, especially for fans. To see how pumped up and excited they were, rubbed off on me last night!

Go cats......Love the heart and intensity!

You mean, such anger and such happyness within two hours? Ha, no I dont get that, last night i was just trying to avoid TheGreatOne chucking things.. bottles, pool cues, bending a remote control into a U shape. Talk about a lose cannon.

2 out of 3 of those I can not deny.

Seems accurate...How does a cannon lose?

Nothing better on earth than march madness. I'm glad the UC players and fans are getting some taste of it.
