Standing in a crowded media room of the Tucker Center following a Senior Day victory over the Miami Hurricanes, I asked Michael Ojo about the possibility of winning the upcoming ACC Tournament. Ojo, The mountain of a man who was nearly eye level despite sitting in a chair two sizes too small, answered with an emphatic “yes,” and then incredulously asked “why not us?” He wasn’t incredulous because he didn’t believe it himself, but rather that I would even entertain the notion that Florida State couldn’t win the ACC Tournament.
Close to a decade later, this moment in time sticks with me.
