Just one day earlier, thousands of fans greeted them with thunderous applause and their advancement out of the Elite Eight to the NCAA Final Four.

This has been a really long season,\" said Coach Bo Ryan after practice. \"This is quite the journey. We've had more practices and this team and I have been together more than any other team I've coached.\"
