Embrace it! We earned the 8, now go make the most of it.

Extremely, extremely well deserved and appropriate 8 seed. I wonder how close they were to getting a 7.... presumably if we won the conference tourney?
The reward, of course, as everyone is mentioning, is to get shipped to LA to line-up to play the #1 overall seed. Seems a bit underhanded in a multitude of ways. I don't know.
On a personal note, I was able to see women's tennis play in Vegas a couple days ago .... and I guess.... am now going to LA for a couple days. Congrats ladies... and good luck. Time to shock the world.

Lady Spiders got deserved respect. As I’ve been trying to tell anyone all week who had us near the bubble…we weren’t close to it at all & weren’t.
LA nice trip for the team. And if u get that first W u get a high profile matchup. Our red sweaters may have to stay up late tho.

Right off the bat during show too. Boom. But man that video feed must have been on a massive delay at our viewing party. Nothing. They did get a later reaction shot of us tho.
Tarrant and team went thru GaTech and Indiana to get to sweet 16. GT is going to get tired of the Spiders.
I've had some time to think about this.... and I got this dead wrong. Of course, we want to see them advance as far as possible and make a Sweet 16, but they actually deserve no less than the ultimate spotlight this year. 100% agree with you GKiller. They handle their business.... and they get to play the #1 overall seed in the country at Pauley Pavillion. They deserve nothing less than that.
Very true. I suspect we know and respect UCLA and they know little about us. Gotta jump GT so we can get a shot.
Is anybody here planning to go to the game? I’ve been waiting for the Spiders to come to LA for a decade. I’m not missing this chance.
Only weird people and presidential children used to go there.
Although Matt Henry, Odom’s top asst did & he seems normal. I think when Sidwell started focusing more on basketball that it got better.
Richmond men played out there at UCLA not too long b4 that must have just missed.
Enjoy. Recommend going to the official open ncaa practice/shoot around. I assume the women have that too.
Roussell gets it & hit on on all the key things as expected.
Sounds like everyone associated w team genuinely very excited to go to LA. And why not. Who wouldn’t. Adds juice. I replied to SF when he wasn’t a big fan of such a potential trip. Said I didn’t mind it great trip for team. & besides Raleigh not sure it matters for fans. We get good night time slots too. 7:30 Friday is our game.
Yeah it’s a business trip we need to win 1st game but honestly we have a few girls on team we can market LA. We should. Play it up.
We wear white that’s something too as Coach mentioned. Means nothing at tip but right now it’s cool. The “at large” really has some cachet too. That’s another reason I was keen on locking up bid early rather than student17’s lose late in reg season model.
Btw student17 check out what Roussel said re: scheduling. top 50 top 50 games more more. Meanwhile u want to avoid top50ish for the men. He would be same way if coaching men.
Go Spiders. Beat LA.
This was during my senior year of highschool, before I had been admitted so was not yet following the Spiders.
I’m definitely planning on getting there early, I’m really looking forward to it.
