I am borderline overwhelmed!
Can I also call for an official end to the nonsensical talk of the "Big Three/Three Amigos?" DJO is the best #1 MU has ever had...at least in my memory.
These guys just put themselves into Marquette's legendary category. Beat Carolina and my goodness...
I am because of the celebration beers I am chugging
I am just giddy!!!!
Amen - totally prepared for a loss. I told my wife she could not leave the room when they were playing in the 2nd half. She brought them back in the 1st half.

Me and the girlfriend, a non-alum, were drinking from tip-off, so it was no surprise that around 4:00 left we both had to use the restroom. After I went, she followed during a commercial break. Other than the win, my favorite moment of the game was calling into the bathroom as I moved a few things out of the hallway that she had a clear lane to run back in, then looking up to see her sprint in as Syracuse turned over the ball on that over-and-back. Great bonding moments.
When MU was down 19-9 (or whatever it was) with like 9 mins to go in the first half, I thought for sure MU was going to be toast. What's weird is as MU hung around, I never thought to myself "they're going to have a second half meltdown" like I would have during the regular season.
I literally jumped in the air in my family room when DJO hit that 3. My wife was walking into the room as my feet were hitting the floor. I also think I threw out my back, but it was worth it!
After games like Stanford a couple of years ago, and Washington last year, this is sooooooo sweet.
Forgot how much fun it is to win in the NCAAs. Just awesome!

That's the joy for me. I wasn't here for the Wade years, all I remember are games like Bama, MSU, Stanford, Mizzou and Wash. Having gone through the lows of those games the last few years makes this one feel so much better!
Beat the Heels!!!!!
Most excited I've been about MU since Wado's trouncing of Kentucky.
Its Revenge time on Roy Williams
Holy f*cking sh!t
every 5 minutes i just get this crazy smile on my face.... so awesome after the last few years
Great father/daughter moment for me. Katie (MU 2000) was sitting next to me on the couch holding her littlest (7 months). When DJO hit his 3 we both jumped up and let out a scream. The kid was only slightly freaked, and my daughter quickly handed her to her husband and said "She's yours until the game's over". Nothing more fun than a Marquette victory celebration family style.

Priceless. I had the same kind of moment with my two daughters (classes of 2020 and 2021; they've already pledged their allegiance to the blue n gold)
1977 All Over Again!
We were the last team in the tournament. Nobody figured we'd do anything.
Next thing you know a banner was being hung!
I always say, "We beat North Carolina when it matters!"
GO WARRIORS!!!
