Wow! What an incredible way to close out the Big South Tourney! So for just the second time ever, the Flames are back in the Big Dance.
I remember the last trip and watching the first three-quarters of the game against Dean Smith's Carolina Tarheels thinking we might have just enought o be the first ever 16-seed to beat a 1-seed. Obviously, it didn[t work out that way.
Now we have a week to wait to hear whether or not we'll be playing in the Play-in game in Dayton. Frankly, that sounds good to me. We would be on national television with no other competition except a few meaningless NBA regular season games and perhaps an NIT matchup in Boise or someplace far removed from most of America. And then there's the little factor of actually having a chance to win a game.
Viva Coach Dunton! I admit I was one of the ones bemoaning the hire as another retread on a car swerving straight for the ditch. But he's proven to be a very solid hire.
