The tough times for our team that started just before the Big 12 tournament continued before the big dance. Before heading west, the team boarded a bus at 9AM and traveled to Grand Prairie to attend funeral services for Donald Sloan's mom, who passed away last Thursday. The plan was to then practice at the SMU facilities, then fly out to LA. However weather delayed their flight, and the team didn't get to their hotel in Calli until 4AM. A funeral, a practice, and a delayed flight. That is a full day. Considering all the team has been through, this week, this year, this decade, it is pretty amazing we are where we are; even Dom-Kirk can't believe it, "I really didn't think it would be so quick and everything. But it's just a dream come true."
