As I start to write this on Monday, April 7, I am another year older and wiser at age [redacted], but my god if that Regional Finals on Sunday night didn’t age me an additional five-plus years. If you read my preview, I diagnosed myself with Post Traumatic Regional Finals Stress Disorder, or PTRFSD from last year’s infuriating mess. I was ready to be done with that, washed clean by TSwift lyrics and the torrential downpours that flooded Columbia’s streets all weekend. I was not expecting how we got to this point, as The Plains Tigers are decidedly NOT the Utes, and so I thought, it’ll be fair this time.
Regional Finals Reaction: They believed that they could, so they did.
