So it's just a victory of Duke. Maybe we're overreacting. But it's more than that.

After a season of a LOT of downs (player defections, losses)... it's amazing to watch this team come together and gel into a single unit. These kids really love playing with each other - and it's so incredibly fun to watch.

Last night, we played like a #1 seed. It was a clinic. Sure, there were moments of inexperience kicking in (random 18-ft pull-ups)... but in all, we played like a contender.

And nothing makes me happier than to see that. I don't get very teary-eyed, but watching videos of the '05 squad and the '08 squad winning the National Championship can almost move me to tears. You just have to feel for these kids who put their hearts into one goal... and to watch them win it.

'08 was particularly an emotional year, cause the squad all put off going to the pros to come back one more year and get a shot at the title.

Is there anything more beautiful than watching the fulfillment of a dream?
