Correct, say it with your whole chest from day 1 and all season long.

I want to hear it when you're predicted 12th in an 18 team league. "We don't care, they're wrong, we're here to make the NCAA tournament." I want to hear it when it takes overtime to beat the 3rd worst team in the Big East, the 3rd worst team in the SEC, and gd Elon at home. I want to hear it after it takes surviving last-second 3 pt attempts by Colorado St and California. I want to hear it after sleepwalking the last 2:45 of Stanford when you had a 13pt lead and the ball. And then again a week later after having a 4pt lead and the ball with 8s left in Dallas. And most of all I want to hear about your 100% focus on making the NCAA tournament, how nothing else matters and anything short of that is total failure, after no-showing the 2H of the FSU game. That would really be the good stuff right there, boy. "We gave up about 30 straight points at home but rest assured this is an NCAA caliber roster fully locked in on our only goal for the season, preparing to secure our next bag, wait, I meant (stifling laughter) making the NCAA tournament." Absolute first-rate bit these guys pulled this year, got to hand it to them for that.
