I don't think I would go as far as losing a limb/appendage for the Gophers getting a trip to the Final 4. However, if I were guaranteed successful surgery I would totally being willing to rupture an Achilles or ACL in celebration for such a Gopher's victory.

I guess maybe I could do a small toe like in The Big Lebowski.

Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon.

It takes a lot to get me jumping off my couch and screaming, but that steal and 3 did it. Hell of a comeback against that team in that game and in that situation. Hurley is a massive tool, but damn can he coach.

I was out to dinner with my family, so I wasn't able to watch, but we were tracking the score. Connecticut creeping back into the game was like tracking the approach of a storm. While we were waiting for dessert, I pulled up the live video feed, and we were able to watch the last two minutes. When UConn missed the one free throw, I thought they had blown it, and I said that out loud at the table. Then that last sequence, which was so shocking I could barely believe it.

Hurley is so defective. He easily could have been called. How foolish!...not to mention asshole-ish. He's practically impossible to like.

After beating Duke to go to the Final 4 he could pull a Ned Braden on the court for all I care.

In the 3 point FG era, that is not always going to lead to victory.

If my team makes 25 shots from beyond the arc and your team makes 37 (only from inside the arc including FTs), I win.

Best line in the entire movie:

Uli doesn't care about anything. He's a Nihilist.
Ah, that must be exhausting.

Hurley is a really an enigma for me. Seeing his antics during games on the bench he appears completely unhinged, General Knight on steroids. No doubt.

When I have heard him on the radio, specifically The Dan Patrick Show, I find him to be rather engaging, self-depricating, humorous and insightful. It's easy to see why recruits are drawn to him. He's raw and honest.

He gave fantastic insight and reverence to the mentorship he got from Izzo prior to their Sweet 16 match-up about coaching in general and how he wrestled with the Lakers job opening. He also reveres Geno.

It's quite a riddle.

Hurley claims he thought the Ref was coming over to congratulate him and was going in for a chest bump.

He praised him, called him the best in the game.

The official said "Nothing happened" according to Seth Greenberg.
