I just think that BAma making it to the Sweet 16 makes this a successful season. We may get killed by UNC but Sweet 16 is nice.

That was infuriating from start to finish, we honestly just decided to start diving for balls and playing to win and finally pulled it out. Referees did everything in their power to give GC a chance here but we were able to pull it out.
