That's easy: Gonzaga...dammit, this was our year. The field was wide open, and our team was peaking at the right time.
What made it particularly disappointing for me was that we had 3 players from North Texas, all playing major minutes and making significant contributions. It was a real celebration down in College Station, after we thumped the Aggies by 30 at their place.
One of my favorite moments occurred when my grandson finally met his favorite player, Killian Tillie.

It was a golden opportunity, since we live about 2000 miles from Spokane. I've never seen a game in The Kennel, but we usually attend games if they're within a day's drive of Dallas.
