I've already gone on record to say that I had 0% confidence that we would win in overtime. I'm normally very optimistic. But that's the way I felt, for the following reasons:

1. The bad guys had the big Mo.
2. We were down two starters.
3. The two guys we were missing were our best clutch shooters, especially from downtown.
4. Bacot had four fouls and they were sending Suxchon and other players driving in to him like Scud missiles with the intent to get a cheesy foul and put our third starter out of the game.
5. We were playing bench players with limited game experience and some not so glaring stats.
6. The refs, who made Teddy Valentine look like the President of the UNC Fan Club, had decided that they wanted to be able to say that they reffed the biggest (well, tied for biggest) comeback in NCAA history.

So, be honest. Who thought we would win in overtime. Not that we had a chance. I still thought we had a chance. Balls bounce in funny directions. But I mean 100%, would have bet the ranch, thought that we would win. Your thoughts?
