I was nervous about the first Game. It was against an extremely pesky Air Force team. We just played them the last game of the season and won by 1 point.

It was the 2001 MWC tourney.

They were a very tough draw for the first game of the tournament.

I knew if we could get past them, we’d be on a roll and win it all. I remember steve Cleveland basically saying the same thing in interviews.

I feel the exact same way with this game. I think VCU is a very tough first draw. If we can get past them, I just see byu on a roll going a long way.

It’s been a long time for post season success for byu.

I believe.

Reece Davis called out byu publicly for being the team going to the big dance more than any other without a final 4 appearance.

That was the omen.
