Godbold may have been the player of the game, but I was a close second for taking one for the team. I picked St. Joes on my bracket knowing that was all it would take to give the Sooners a for sure win.
Well, I learned that back in the glory days of Calvinball. But this is a brave new world, where I would have no problem whatsoever predicting Sweet 16 or better for this team...if only our best player didn't have Jason White's old knees right now and our second best inside presence didn't have a broken bone in his leg.
I picked St Joes, i admit it also..I was trying the whole reverse psychology thing..I cussed my wife because she has us going to the Elite 8, i was politely thanking her for screwing up our chances..
Goldbold burying 3's and AJ having a solid game were big. In the first half it was really pretty even...everybody played pretty well. Glad to see us hang on like that.
