All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

Saw this from TOS, backs up Dykes'  point:

Tennessee is the first team to ever win an NCAA tournament game while shooting

Less than 15% from 3 (min. 20 3PA)

And

Less than 35% overall from the field

In tourney history, teams that shot this poorly were 0-66 before tonight

They are now 1-66

Just as importantly, since the 3 point shot has only been around about 40 years, this type of game only happens about once or twice every tournament between all 63 games. It was truly a historically bad shooting performance. Surely it couldn?t happen to Tennessee twice in one tournament!

These are games we would normally lose in the tournament. Maybe a good omen.
