No Sad Hoyas Here

Well, the Hoyas lost to Ohio State, but I'm not shedding any tears.

Even though we beat ourselves with turnovers. Or we might have been defeated by OSU's size and quickness. Could've even been a little bit outcoached. We did go a little conservative at the end, just being satisfied to run our plays instead of getting aggressive. Surely, Jeff Green shrunk under the spotlight.

I went to the Hoya practice on Friday and they looked relaxed and focused. I was surprised to see them play the way they did on Saturday. But there are two quality strip clubs within walking distance of Final Four central. Not that I want to cast aspersions on my Hoyas, but the team clearly lost a little bit of edge.

But it's all good. We get our Final 4 banner. Haven't had one of those in a while... And it's not like I was exactly praying for Green or Hibbert to have a Carmelo Anthony-like breakout moment. More like I'm praying for both of them to stay for their senior years. And, in the big picture, the program is officially back. There's a next year for us. And a year after that. And some years after that.

Without a doubt, my brackets are officially up in flames. But I'm not mad. I picked with my heart. And I'll pick with my heart again next year. I'm glad I finally have the luxury.
