Today is the day.
It’s been exactly 35 years and 6 days since Jamie Dixon led the Horned Frogs to their most recent NCAA Tournament victory, only then he was a player. Now, as a coach, Dixon’s group has a chance to cement their legacy in Horned Frog folklore forever.
I can’t exactly put into words how important this game is not only for the basketball program but for the university as a whole. As I assume many of you reading this are, I’ve been a Horned Frog for life, and I’m not sure if I could think of any other single basketball game as big as tonight’s matchup with Seton Hall is.
