Bobby Knight on his most memorable loss:
 (quoting what Howard Cosell said to him after an MSG loss in the 60s) "Bobby, tomorrow the sun will rise in the east, and our boys will still be in Vietnam." Mark the parallel, note the shortcomings (if you must), take a breath and let's move on together.

I'm upset. Obviously. We all are. The weekend is shot. But much to my wife's chagrin, we don't have to wait for next season. We just have to wait for next week. Good loss? Hell no. Bad loss? Um, yes.
At least now my expectations have been lowered so much that  a first round win will not seem like a given.

So without further ado I offer these statements to the world:

Dear  world, I give you the UofL Cardinals, the best 5 seed of the year.
Dear Cards, don't hesitate to win.
Dear fans, no one said this wouldn't hurt like hell.
