What you have accomplished is amazing. Thank you for the great entertainment and for what have you done for the The Valley. I hope the other teams find inspiration in your effort, attitude and class.

With great respect,

Aces fan here and I certainly want to add my congratulations to all of you on your fantastic run.

We had the MVC chant going in my local watering hole Saturday night, and we were all pulling for the Shocks, except the bartender, who actually went to OSU. Poor guy didn't get much of a tip..lol!!

As far as UE sweeping you guys, yes, it brings pride to say this year. I hope it helps re-energize our program and fans, but I can assure you, the team I watched at the Ford Center is not the one I have been watching in the tournament.

Best of luck this weekend, we are all pulling for you!!
