Looking back, what were the chances for a team picked 4th in the Valley, with 4 starters out with injuries on and off that Season, to make it to the Final 4? Mr. Wessel would have been a big help in the Louisville game in such a close game that could had gave us the edge to get the the Final game in which we prolly beat Michigan. What were the chances for any team at this level to go 35-0 as we did? Dunno, but it was a first. How about the away game at Mo. State, being down around 21 in the 2nd half but yet winning in OT? Then there was the game on the road versus Illinois State when Cotton received the high karate kick, jumped up like it was child's play? We were down around 7-8 with 40 seconds and we win!!!! Let's just say this team has learned how to win. It is not always pretty, but the odds say you rarely do any of the things just mentioned, but what about all of them collectively? WOW!!!!!!!

The Shockers haven't always been perfect, but they've been very special since March of 2013.

Since the day Ron walked back on the court in St. Louie in 2013 we have simply been on a dream ride. Not a coincidence.

Good interview by Carter. He sounded just like a senior leader should.
