They're going to need them in Indianapolis, because these guys have huge balls. They just beat UConn in overtime, 86-84. The amount of poise they showed down the stretch was amazing. Their post players in particular made plays down the stretch that were calm, poised, and smooth.

The 11th-seeded Patriots did the impossible, shook up the world, and believed in miracles. They just took down 1-seed UConn en route to becoming the 2nd 11-seed to ever make it to the Final Four. This is what the NCAA tournament is all about. This is what college basketball is all about.

Jai Lewis bricked two free throws at the end of overtime, but got away with it, because UConn ran out of miracles, just missing a three-ball at the buzzer. Just incredible. Cinderella is alive, she is dancing, and she's looking forward to pleasuring you in Indianapolis.

(By the way, comments aren't working, as you may have noticed. All apologies. We're working on it. At least, someone's working on it. It know it's had to be frustrating for you to watch this game and not be able to chime in with a "Fuck UConn" here and there. I sympathize... and I miss you.)
