2 or 3 things happened. That's why it's always best to play your best in the 2nd. half of the last game. Folks always remembers that. It's a good look. Another is how we played that last 3 minutes of the Clemson game. We were ahead by 15 points and almost gave it up at the end. Again, the memory of that. No doubt, an 8th. seed is still quite unbelievable to me. I just don't think that there are 25 - 28 teams that in the tournament that are better than the Cardinals. Of course, the injury to Smith was the straw that broke the camel's back as well. We had a 5 point lead at the half against Duke and he scores 10 and we have less turnovers, well you never know. Lastly, I pretty much agree with Real. Beat Duke and they say well, they didn't have Flagg. I know this, we win our 1st. two games, folks are going to remember that for sure. imo
