With four minutes left it's not over yet, but it might as well be. Strange game. But Arizona hit their shots and Illinois didn't.
Maybe next lifetime...
DOWNDATE: Uh, whoops. As we head into OT, I only wish Illinois had played with the same sense of urgency for the whole game.
DOUBLE DOWNDATE: Hah! My secret strategy of giving up hope worked! Everybody, come on down and meet me in St. Louis!!! And uh, bring a couple of extra Final Four tickets.
TRIPLE DOWNDATE: Anybody know how I can, uh ..., unburn my, um ..., lucky sweatshirt?
Thanks for the belly-laugh about the lucky sweatshirt. Much needed...
