Syracuse fan showing up to say....AWESOME. Well done! Congrats! It was so much fun watching the Kentucky takedown! One question: where can someone buy an Oakland Gohlke jersey? I want to taunt neighbors who went to KY. Thanks! Don't think you can Oakland basketball does have their own store but I think they are just genetic ones but maybe now they will get them

Thought Rocket had an unsung game tonight. Absolutely. He played his game/role tonight. We missed some 2s we shouldn't have missed, left 5 points for sure on the table from missed FTs. Gohlke offset those with his insane shooting. What I was impressed by was our level play. There were very few bad passes, almost no bad shots. The team just executed so well. We don't even need Gohlke to shoot like that in the next game to win if we make the 2s and free throws and execute like they did in this game.

A big key to this game was that Oakland didn't have a scoring drought. They avoided their usual 4 or 5 minute stretch of no FG. I thought the missed FTs were going to come back and bite them.. thankfully it didn't

Awesome comments from other fanbases from the past and posters from the past. March Madness connects this disparate college basketball universe together. Why anyone would want to change it!?!!
For real, Oakland just beat Kentucky in the NCAA tournament on CBS in prime time. Blue blood, Coach Cal, Big Blue Nation. I can’t help but feel a kinship with the folks on this forum tonight who have lived and died with this program, watching games or following live stats or internet radio for games against far off teams like Centenery, UMKC, or Southern Utah, or going through the trials of Motor City Sadness, and celebrating the wins and bemoaning the losses together over the years. This program just took down college basketball royalty, led by a Division II transfer.
The effort from Jack tonight was otherworldly and no doubt an outcome of his tremendous work ethic and confidence, but real ones know this was no fluke. We have all seen Kampe build a program that absolutely emphasizes finding, fostering, valuing, and creating opportunity for a gifted three point shooter. “Just keep shooting”. Gohlke is in the annals of March Madness. I can’t help but think of Kangas, Bader, and Hooper tonight who laid the brick path at that spot in the Oakland offense. Jack truly did it. I can’t believe it.

This program just took down college basketball royalty, led by a Division II transfer. So there's this quote that I remember reading form a Michigan blog after they won the Natty. And while it's a different sport and an entirely difference experience, the quote just couldn't hit any harder for me. "I said that everyone was going to float that night, but the people who had invested more would find themselves lighter, and go higher. I said that the payoff here was proportional to the pain. And I still believe that" Loving Oakland is often an independent experience. Especiailly for those of us who moved away from Michigan. Tonight I'm thinking abot the people on this board!
