Yeah, between curb stomping Marquette and not having to worry about Texas, I was absolutely positive they would beat Syracuse... I soaked up everything about the Final Four games and NC game, and drove ~2 hours to Lawrence with a couple of friends who are from there to watch the game.
That game and the Chiefs/Colts playoff game several months later forced me to 'grow up' as a sports fan quite a bit (the Chiefs going downhill and Self's first few teams after the Elite Eight helped, too).
