That one week, January 17-24, were dark days for me.  Back-to-back losses from a team that had been so dominant, a team that had brought hope and joy to a time of global death and despair.  We fell from the pinnacle of the polls and many wrote our team off as a flash-in-the-pan in the shadow of the great UCONN with their freshman phenom.  

But, the clouds of doubt parted when we drubbed USC on the 24th.  It was so exciting and thrilling to watch our team move forward without losing another game to the National Championship.  What a ride.
