I actually have two favorite moments.
The first was in the Oakland Airport early on the morning just after we lost to St. Mary's. Passing through the airport a guy stopped me and asked if I was wearing a St. John's hat, which I was. He was a long suffering alumnus. He could not stay up to watch the game, but had heard it was an exciting one. He was so happy that we had a basketball team again.
The second moment was while watching the Villanova game with a large group of Alumni from AZ. We get together each year to watch a game at a sport's bar. It has not been fun, watching us lose every year. The excitement in the room, especially from Jack from AZ (aka Jack from VA), was awesome. It was like we were all shedding years of disappointments while the game played out.
