re: Almost a terrierable loss... WHEW Pig Sooie

Yeah, after watching this game, I don't think we'll get it done this time against NC like we did in the '95 tourney in the final four game. (Hoping for reverse jinx by stating that.) ...

But I do remember us almost getting beat by TX Southern in the first round of the '95 tourney, then going on to the finals, after winning the championship the year before. Every game until VA was a nail biter in the '95 tourney, but I remember watching in stunned silence the last few minutes of the TSU game thinking we were gonna lose in the first frickin round after winning the damn natty the year before. ...

Of course, I'm not comparing this year's team with the '95 team; just saying we've barely gotten a win in round 1 before, & gone on to the finals. It can happen.

'95 AR vs. TSU highlights video - Awesome to watch, although we almost lost it, first round. ... Damn, it seems people could just frickin shoot better back then, & we were awesome, (especially in '94, no doubt) even when we played "shitty" & almost got beat first round. ... Stewart was on fiya with the 3s in this game, & Williamson was my fave player of the 90s, & maybe ever, even though he fouled out this game. ... Maybe we should take the game against Wofford as a sign that we're going to do well the rest of the way. Here's some hope. ...
