Everything has been falling the Ramblers' way this whole season, and the NCAA tournament has been no exception.
We got the #1 seed and are playing on our home court in front of an enthusiastic partisan crowd.
We played Penn State instead of Lewis in the semis, which I believe was fortunate since we had already played Lewis 3 times, and beating any team 4 times in a row is difficult (Witness BYU, which beat Stanford 3 times this year before losing to the Cardinal in the semis.)
And we managed to beat Penn State even after playing what I've been told was one of the poorest games this season.
So, we've gotten our bad game out of our system, and should be ready to go against Stanford, a team we haven't played this year.
I am not overly confident, because Stanford looked awfully good, but if our luck continues to hold, I like our chances.
