Everybody's Taking (Good) Shots at Goliath

“We played against a team that played an amazing game. They're very good. I mean, they're just -- we were ready to play. You wouldn't hear any of our players say that we overlooked them; there's no way.”

With less than six minutes left, a good portion of press row began Googling the words 'Belmont University.' They weren't trying to make sure a player's name was spelled right or find a three-point statistic; they wanted to know where this team rattling Mike Krzyzewski's cage was from. When someone inquired whom the Bruins' best player was, the reply came, 'Secretariat?'

Shame on us cynics, no? We had no right to dismiss such a quality team, a program that showed it had just as much right to play in the second round of the NCAA tournament as determined and fortunate Duke. Read more
