Grrrrreat job guys at making school history! I am super excited for them, and for me too. I said waaay back when I was a UCI undergrad that I would attend their first round matchup whenever they do it and wherever they travel to.

And It's FINALLY happened!

I was there at midcourt right behind the scorers table. That last Will Davis windmill followed by Mamadou N'Diaye shot block was sweet. Great win!

UCI making the tourney and UCLA possibly missing out? So only teams from socal to make the NCAA this year will probably be SDSU and UCI. UCLA hopes rest on the selection committee.

No, but my daughter is considering it. I went to a school in Illinois, EIU, whose basketball claim to fame is Kevin Duckworth. The NFL, however, is a different story.

It's original at least. Plus those giant ones have nasty claws. Could've been worse, i.e Banana Slugs.

I was sitting right by him at the Big West Championship game. I probably should have said hello and thanked him for everything he does, but he was with what I assumed was his daughter so I let them be. I was also taken aback by his lack of a mustache.

Fun fact for everyone - Spencer Rivers, the son of Doc Rivers, is on UCI's roster. I spotted Doc and Austin as spectators on the other side of the court at the last UCI game.

You should have said hi. (And yes, that was my daughter.)
