I was a 9th grader when we were knocked out of the final 8 by UCLA. Had to wait until I had been out of college a couple of years until we had our hearts broken in sweet 16 by U Conn.
Then in the 90s Minnesota beat us in the sweet 16 in overtime. Kansas beat us in the sweet 16 six years ago. Point is, enjoy it folks. Doesn’t happen very often but it’s fun when it does.
