LEFTY & MARYLAND SHOULD HAVE WON VS N.C.STATE , PLUS HE SHOULD HAVE WON SEVERAL OTHER ALMOST AS IMPORTANTGAMES OVER THE DECADES . HE ASSEMBLED REALLY TALENTED TEAMS BACK THEN .
THIS IS JUST WHAT I THOUGHT , THAT VILLA NOVA WAS NOT AS STRONG A TRADITION IN THE OLD DAYS . THEN THEY USE THE VAST CROWD TO MAKE IT TOO STRESSFUL TO CHEER FOR U-M WHEN YOU ARE TOO OLD TO TAKE THE STRAIN . I SHOULD HAVE PULLED FOR GEORGETOWN INSTEAD OF VILLA NOVA WHEN PATRICK EUWING WAS PLAYING .
