It probably hasn’t settled in for all of you yet. The Kentucky Wildcats are going to Houston to play in the 2010-2011 NCAA Tournament Final Four. Man that sounds good doesn’t it? It hasn’t been an easy trip with a last second shot against Princeton, a revenge game against West Virgina, the overall top seed Ohio State and now the number two seeded North Carolina Tarheels. [B]Congratulations and GO BIG BLUE![/B]
Throughout the year the Wildcats had some struggles; some tough losses that might have left some fans questioning how far the season might go. Especially considering that they couldn’t get a win on the road.
But here they are, the Wildcats are in the Final Four. It feels great! But I have one question and I’d like for you to think about it before you answer. [B]Did you ever think that this year’s team would be in the Final Four? [/B]Not many other people did. On Friday everyone was talking about Ohio State being the pick. Today, it was North Carolina. But what about you?
It’s not a question of commitment or pride. It’s not to take away from what this team and Coach Cal have accomplished. I am proud, you are proud and had we been in the N.I.T. we’d still be cheering. But I am wondering is this is the year of [B]The Unlikelys[/B]? At the beginning of March, did you expect the Wildcats to be here?
For me, I never expected this. It is a wonderful surprise and makes me that much more proud of the team. I am thankful they are in the Final Four and look forward to seeing them play next week!
Again, Congratulations to all the Wildcats and good luck next weekend!
