We survived the last two games. Wow! We played so poorly for long stretches of time at different points in the tourney. Our defense saved or bacon each time. 

I am emotionally drained after this game.

This afternoon reminds me — I need to schedule my stress echo...

Very consciously, I watched the game as I pedaled an exercise bike.  I knew I needed to burn some energy off throughout.   Still, I was noticeably stressed after the game.  It always surprises me when my body reacts in ways I don't think it should.

I don't see myself being invested in the NC run too much, but do identify with the student-athletes.  In this case, I also agree that I didn't feel euphoria, but  instead relief.  It would have been somewhat crushing to lose.

We were 15 years into the streak when Tara last one a NC.  Wow.
