When I saw Brad Calipari sitting behind the UK bench, I had a feeling this was going to turn out OK for Oakland. Brad appeared in two games against Oakland while at UDM, losing both. Caliparis and UDM both apparently lose to Oakland.

Looks like we have NC State in the next round. They're not going to be an easy win by any means, but for matchup reasons, I'm alot happier it's them and not Texas Tech.

I didn’t watch them tonight but know they have a couple of big guys - Burns, Diarra, and Middlebrooks. Burns is a beast. Diarra is a Garden City CC product. I think his time overlapped with Tone Hunter and assistant coach Bobby. Crazy a couple JUCO guys from GCCC about to meet for a chance to go to the Sweet 16.

Nice clip with Coach Kampe after the game: x.com/Tyler_Greever/status/1771023581037596701?s=20Kampe applauds everyone but himself. Tonight was culmination of him building a program from nothing. THANK YOU Coach Kampe. So incredibly happy for him to get this moment and recognition.

Once upon a time, a star player from Pontiac passed the ball to a guy from Grand Blanc to hit the biggest shot in program history. The PASS was as important as the SHOT. Tonight a star player from Detroit passes to a Pontiac kid in the biggest moment. x.com/MarchMadnessMBB/status/1770987864282616148?s=20I can’t believe Rocket made that pass and I can’t believe DQ drained that three. Rawle Marshall, Pierre Dukes, Rocket Watts, DQ Cole.

The crazy part is they did it without shooting well from the line which has been elite all year if you told me Oakland would shoot 13-23 56% that would be trouble but they got it done I've always watched other mid majors do this and thought that could be us now it is and it seem like a dream

Coach Kampe was on 97.1 this morning. Said he hasn’t slept yet, just took a 5-hour energy. I didn’t catch everything but I believe he said they will need to play fast tomorrow against NCST. He said they have brunch around 11 am where they’ll start going over film. He has 1300 texts and is through about 1000 of them.
What a whirlwind. I don’t know how anyone on the team slept last night. I am sure their phones and social medias were all abuzz. You want to enjoy that but then also they have a real chance to make the Sweet 16. Crazy crazy.

I had to find my old login just to post this. I've been browsing and not posting for the last few years after I graduated. If I didn't have work I would have been there last night, but I settled for Red Ox and it was absolutely bumping. Just booked my stay at the team hotel for Saturday, absolutely cannot contain my excitement. I teared up listening to the guys on 97.1 talking up our boys on the way to work this morning. This is unreal.
