Part of the issue with actually writing about games and trying to convey information is that sometimes you can't just react emotionally. Last night's game demanded an emotional reaction. I got home after church and had the game fired up by around 9:45. By that time, most Xavier fans were well into their celebrations, Coach Mack was doing postgame, and the Cintas was probably still reverberating. I was just sitting down, and I was full of nerves. Unwilling to risk accidentally knowing anything, I'd even turned my phone off at tip time. For someone of this generation, the thought of four hours without connectivity was almost as nerve-wracking as the game.
