Speechless

Unless you have been living under a rock that doesn't get ESPN you now know that GMU has beaten Witchita State for the 2nd time and beaten UConn to be the first true mid major team to advance to the Final Four. Sure other teams that are now midmajors have advanced to the Final Four or even won the title (like Indiana State and Texas Western and Charlotte) However this was before games were on national TV and there was such a huge disparity between athletic budgets. Things have changed since the 60's and the 70's but it appears that midmajordom has finally proven itself. Now it's only a matter of time before Delaware State advances. Look for Delaware State vs. Southern Final Four matchup in 2040. It should be a doozy.

Well our dirty little secret that we play some of the best basketball in the nation right here in Wilmington and Norfolk and Hempstead and Fairfax and so on and so forth has finally been uncovered by the national media. Hey we are better than one of the Final Four teams, and possibly others. How about that. Logically we are at least one of the top 3 teams in the country. How about that. Wish I could be in Indianapolis. But instead
